The Principality of Saint Croix and Bens, most commonly known as Saint Croix, Croix, and Saint Croix and Bens, is a nation in the Coalition of Crown Albatross located on the continent of Adula, bordered by Qolaysia, Alecburgh and a maritime border with Nebetia. It is a democratic republic helmed by President William Urskabau. With a rich history, vibrant culture, moderate economy, and a relative neutrality in foreign affairs, it is considered a lower-tiered power in the Southern Adula subcontinent. Saint Elmenau is the national capital and largest city, located along the Emmiria Sea and the Toyana Ocean.

The country is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, which has a significant effect on its politics. About half the population is ethnically Croixtian, with minorities of Qolaysian, Nebetians, and indigenous peoples. The country's official language is Croixtian, a standard form of the Croix language. Caticeze-English remains an active second language. While recognising Christianity as the country's established religion, the constitution grants freedom of religion to non-Christians, specifically the large Muslim minority.

The economy has traditionally been fueled by its natural resources but is expanding in the sectors of science, tourism, commerce and medical tourism. Saint Croix and Bens has a newly industrialized market economy, and is one of the most rapidly developing economies in the world.
