The Monarcho-Democracy of New Ryansville is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jack Garner with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.13 billion New Ryansvilleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagos. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Ryansvillean economy, worth 214 trillion Avarines 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 impressive 189,849 Avarines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ryansville's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Ryansville is ranked 232,071^st in the world and 178^th in Isle Of Wooloo Kingdom for Least Corrupt Governments, with 49.42 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
