The Syndicalist Republic of Rykkland is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 34.55 billion Rykklanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rykkburgh. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rykklander economy, worth a remarkable 3,755 trillion Spesoj 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 108,692 Spesoj, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Rykkburgh Times is sold out, Leader is plotting to coup the Pacific (Rykkland has found 4 easter eggs), and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rykkland's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rykkland is ranked 45,162^nd in the world and 68^th in The Kodiak Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
