The Osakandom of Crukz is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, conspicuous electricity pylons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 741 million Osakas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osaka. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming OSAKA economy, worth 80.0 trillion Ahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,896 Ahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crukz's national animal is the Osaka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crukz is ranked 155,145^th in the world and 804^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 407.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
