Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Nigerian Empire of New Ryansville is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Charlotte with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.905 billion New Ryansvilleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic 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 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Ryansvillean economy, worth a remarkable 2,782 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, 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 352,039 Nigerian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Empress Charlotte's throne, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. 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 4,610^th in the world and 17^th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
