The Queendom of Kyrisland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 142 million Kyrislandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kyrislandian economy, worth 5.87 trillion Kyrians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 41,319 Kyrians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, immigrants who don't like the taste of Kyrislandian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrisland's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kyrisland is ranked 211,750^th in the world and 3,669^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
