The Kingdom of Rylland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Frederick XIII with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, aversion to nipples, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.971 billion Ryllanders 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osmarch. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ryllandic economy, worth 980 trillion Heiliger Schwan Marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,334 Heiliger Schwan Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 597,362 per year while the poor average 50,724, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

T-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor, teenagers get their license without taking the test, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and the musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rylland's national animal is the Ryllandic Giant Antler Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism and Orthodoxy.

Rylland is ranked 56,470th in the world and 1st in Morpheus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 50,724.54 Standard Monetary Units.
