The United Socialist States of Central Ryal is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Yevgeny Terenti with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.082 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 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Central Ryalian economy, worth 652 trillion Aqes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,763 Aqes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, billions of Aqes are spent to take high-quality photos of the Swallow Nebula, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. 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 72,864^th in the world and 2,747^th in The North Pacific for Most Average, scoring 41.25 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
