The Purified Land of Kylondia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Helena Winters with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 8.041 billion Kylondians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norrigan-Ferrim. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kylondian economy, worth 330 trillion Drygis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,099 Drygis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Helena Winters, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kylondia's national animal is the Drayrk Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Order of Purity.

Kylondia is ranked 230,086^th in the world and 4,339^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 5.02 average smiles per day.
