| - The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.3%. The very strong Crispusian economy, worth 18.9 trillion Marks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 81,062 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

| - The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.3%. The very strong Crispusian economy, worth 18.9 trillion Marks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 81,062 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest. Underground copulation clubs have sprung up in major cities, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crispus's national animal is the Tank, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
