The Devastation of Cro Magnon is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a council of Dons with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.731 billion Cro Mags 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, 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 The Fire Pit. The average income tax rate is 3.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cro Magnon economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion shiny stones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 73,710 shiny stones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, closed universities are currently being converted into MacDonald's restaurants, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and Humongo-Mart's Beef 'n Woolly Mammoth Lasagne is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cro Magnon's national animal is the Woolly Mammoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Darkesianism.

Cro Magnon is ranked 174,874^th in the world and 4,120^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
