The Kingdom of The Commonwealth of Rylandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Great Emperor with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.82 billion Rylanders are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alenburg. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rylandish economy, worth 265 trillion Potatexes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,950 Potatexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBCR Governor goes house hunting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Commonwealth of Rylandia's national animal is the Potato bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Economy.
The Commonwealth of Rylandia is ranked 106,478th in the world and 526th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,149.46 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
