The Commonwealth of Rhyssuan Peoples is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 748 million Rhyssuans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarpedos. The average income tax rate is 27.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rhyssuan economy, worth 43.0 trillion balboas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,481 balboas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, foreign football clubs wave the Rhyssuan flag before every game, Pangolin sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhyssuan Peoples's national animal is the pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhyssuan Peoples is ranked 60,594^th in the world and 61^st in Thaecia for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4,124.98 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
