The Distortion of Rylee Hope is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Rylee Hope with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.957 billion Rylee Hopeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Library. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rylee Hopean economy, worth 516 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,854 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, and state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rylee Hope's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rylee Hope is ranked 158,038^th in the world and 7^th in Library of Ruina for Highest Average Incomes, with 51,854.97 Standard Monetary Units.
