The Prosperous Desert Nation of Reyalda is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Yueinezzar Sa Reyalda with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.929 billion Reyaldanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Five Capitals. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Reyaldani economy, worth 898 trillion nikrals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,640 nikrals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Five Capitals is a police state during international summits, teenagers can't go to the loo without an army of social workers watching their every movement, those who investigate UFOs tend to wake up delirious on abandoned roads, and bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reyalda's national animal is the elbiam wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Esa Areekh.

Reyalda is ranked 325,197^th in the world and 12^th in Astoria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
