The Democratic Republic of Cryptovia is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 16 million Cryptovians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Cryptovian economy, worth 381 billion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 23,834 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, birth rates have hit an all-time low, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cryptovia's national animal is the Pungsan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cryptovia is ranked 308,247^th in the world and 165^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 48.48 on the Human Development Index.
