The Velayati Republic of The Imagination Animals is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiketsu Zorori with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.017 billion Crossoverians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crossoveriapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crossoverian economy, worth a remarkable 5,569 trillion Crossoverian Rials 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 an amazing 397,358 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

The threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, and blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imagination Animals's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

The Imagination Animals is ranked 1,232^nd in the world and 1^st in Amalgamated Federation for Highest Average Incomes, with 397,358.85 Standard Monetary Units.
