The Kingdom of Rympia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 433 million Rympians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rympia Capital City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rympian economy, worth 33.4 trillion rymps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 77,208 rymps, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

The military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rympia's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rympia is ranked 255,781^st in the world and 89^th in Council of Nations for Most Beautiful Environments, with 187.51 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
