The Federal Republic of Kret is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Pierre De Sàde with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.581 billion Kreths hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citè Delapis. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kreth economy, worth 587 trillion Kretian Cruls a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,337 Kretian Cruls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Kreth satellites can detect it, moonshine has made a resurgence, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kret's national animal is the Hoopoe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kret is ranked 26,807^th in the world and 795^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 39.57 Atheism Rate.
