The Nigerian Empire of New Ryansville is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Charlotte with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.744 billion New Ryansvilleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagos. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient New Ryansvillean economy, worth a remarkable 2,575 trillion Nigerian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 332,633 Nigerian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Empress Charlotte". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ryansville's national animal is the West African Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Nigeria.
New Ryansville is ranked 4,662nd in the world and 15th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
