The Democratic Republic of Crima Norte is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Salvius Fernando with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.448 billion Crimans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Luciano. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crima Nortean economy, worth 153 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 106,048 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, Max Barry is this year's Miss Crima Norte, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crima Norte's national animal is the Spear tooth shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Crima Norte is ranked 198,639^th in the world and 134^th in Thaecia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,693.6 Standard Monetary Units.
