Nation/Kresia

The Iberian Union of Kresia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Fernando Jiminez IV of Galicia with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.478 billion Iberians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Lisbon. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The powerhouse Kresian economy, worth 128 trillion Pesetas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is 86,725 Pesetas, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Catholicism has been named as Kresia's national religion, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six year olds, the clergy of Catholicism remains a single-sex institution, and the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kresia's national animal is the Pagarus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Kresia is ranked 119,269th in the world and 63rd in The International Kingdom for Nudest, with 86.5 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
