The Kingdom of The Commonwealth of Rylandia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Great Emperor with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.808 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 Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alenburg. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rylandish economy, worth 262 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 145,093 Potatexes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
For just a few extra Potatexes Rylanders can get new driving records with their new cars, cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one The Commonwealth of Rylandia" at foreigners, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. 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 135,410th in the world and 645th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 715.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
