The Sankta-Aegis Confederation of Rynese Empire is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Aesheryszyeen van Räenlund with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.726 billion Rynese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The powerhouse Rynen economy, worth a remarkable 1,992 trillion Rynese Marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,379 Rynese Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', and a broken arm or leg no longer costs an arm and a leg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rynese Empire's national animal is the Alpine Grey Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paragonemism.

Rynese Empire is ranked 111,751^st in the world and 13^th in Saint Helene for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 4.61 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
