The Free Land of Rydolke is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Obreive with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 9.343 billion Rydolkeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lydrel. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rydolkean economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion libertocs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,880 libertocs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sly spies try to rely on national allies so that they don't die, international negotiations always lead to a lot of missile-laneous expenses, the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rydolke's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Liberty.

Rydolke is ranked 49,616^th in the world and 796^th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 9.34 billion capita.
