The Armed Republic of Krylik is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 32 million Krylikians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.5%.

The strong Krylikian economy, worth 1.63 trillion Krylik Vouchers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,068 Krylik Vouchers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 148,382 per year while the poor average 13,910, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

It's said that a Krylikian always pays his debts with significant compounding, nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Krylik, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krylik's national animal is the 钢铁战隼, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Krylik is ranked 30,673^rd in the world and 85^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,529.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
