The State of Ryszardeck is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 37.435 billion Ryszardeckians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 12.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ryszardeckian economy, worth a remarkable 1,364 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,452 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ryszardeck's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, Ryszardeck has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ryszardeck in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryszardeck's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ryszardeck is ranked 202,798^th in the world and 525^th in State for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
