The Federation of Crypthic is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Jay with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.388 billion Crypthicians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyphrus. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crypthician economy, worth a remarkable 2,506 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 241,315 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The key to a long musical career is government contracts, Crypthicians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown. Crypthic's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Crypthic is ranked 300,979^th in the world and 22^nd in Caer Sidi for Fattest Citizens, with 4.33 Obesity Rate.
