The Republic of Krill44 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 8 million Krill44ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Krill44ian economy, worth 125 billion tds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,651 tds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krill44's national animal is the hgfd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krill44 is ranked 153,305^th in the world and 1,238^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 370.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
