The Empire of Nas Crustium is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Emperor of the Crusti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.741 billion Crusti are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crusticant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Crusti economy, worth a remarkable 5,782 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 661,533 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,075,294 per year while the poor average 23,257, a ratio of 218 to 1.

Foreign football clubs wave the Crusti flag before every game, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nas Crustium's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Nas Crustium is ranked 281,284^th in the world and 3,524^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 4.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
