The Hopefully no longer inactive of Inner Ryxtylopia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Eduardo Velázquez with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 13.594 billion Inner Ryxtylopians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryxenia. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inner Ryxtylopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,421 trillion Ryxtylopian Ryxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,573 Ryxtylopian Ryxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Inner Ryxtylopia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive, and billions of Ryxtylopian Ryxes are being poured into a space program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inner Ryxtylopia's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Inner Ryxtylopia is ranked 18,081st in the world and 249th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 87.36 on the Human Development Index.
