The Republic of Kyrtizhan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Thomas with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 15.379 billion Kyrtizhanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Princeton. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kyrtizhanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,122 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,989 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

What's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, and the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrtizhan's national animal is the bearded dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kyrtizhan is ranked 6,979^th in the world and 176^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
