The People's Republic of Central Ryal is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yevgeny Terenti with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 2.325 billion Central Ryalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Central Ryalian economy, worth 306 trillion Aqes a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,777 Aqes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, third world countries are rich in "I Love Central City" t-shirts, Central Ryalian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Ryal's national animal is the Swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Central Ryal is ranked 451^st in the world and 326^th in The North Pacific for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 221 Valid Endorsements.
