The Khanate of Qyrym is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Great Khan with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 13.021 billion Crimeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kharkov. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crimean economy, worth a remarkable 4,153 trillion Altyns 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 319,021 Altyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, and brazen mayors claim official expenses to pay for their drug habits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Qyrym's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Qyrym is ranked 170,791st in the world and 13th in Free Japan for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 36.99 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
