The Mahā-Mantra of Krishna is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 8.605 billion Krishnaites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Krishnaite economy, worth 143 trillion Mahā-Mantras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,651 Mahā-Mantras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krishna's national animal is the Aghnya, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krishna is ranked 50,788^th in the world and 3^rd in Varanasi for Nicest Citizens, with 17.36 average smiles per day.
