The State of Cracroft is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.918 billion Cracroftians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Cracroftian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 33,684 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 102,899 per year while the poor average 8,546, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Cracroft has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cracroft's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cracroft is ranked 189,963^rd in the world and 1^st in Sozialistische Weltrepublik for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
