The Imperial Federation of Kronverg is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Karl Cunningham with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 818 million Kronvergians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronburg. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kronvergian economy, worth 111 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,700 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Karl Cunningham's desk, a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, and teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kronverg's national animal is the Bear.

Kronverg is ranked 109,235^th in the world and 450^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,460.92 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
