The Republic of Crownly is a massive, safe nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.826 billion Crownlyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.5%.

The Crownlyian economy, worth 99.1 trillion papers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,258 papers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, a major religion has been named as Crownly's national religion, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crownly's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Crownly is ranked 124,384^th in the world and 3^rd in Orcusa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,206.8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
