The Republic of Crabley is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.435 billion Crableyians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Crableyian economy, worth 240 trillion Lead-marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 167,304 Lead-marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,510,067 per year while the poor average 2,252, a ratio of 670 to 1.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Lead-mark charge on their phone bill, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crabley's national animal is the Storm-crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Crabley is ranked 224,334^th in the world and 20^th in We like money for Largest Populations, with 1.44 billion capita.
