The Wasteland of Kyallisar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by John Doe with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.492 billion Kyallisarians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underworld. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kyallisarian economy, worth a remarkable 9,057 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Gambling, Tourism, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 307,123 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Kyallisar" on tails, John Doe's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, and the entire entry for Kyallisar in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kyallisar's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dragon Hallow.

Kyallisar is ranked 345,250th in the world and 4,930th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -21.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
