The Democratic Social Republic of Eieryn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Morandin Rynityan with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.289 billion Rynen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tryteik. The average income tax rate is 91.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rynian economy, worth 389 trillion Menyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 169,989 Menyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eieryn's national animal is the meerkat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Eieryn is ranked 287,071^st in the world and 52^nd in UEPU Federal Republic for Largest Black Market, with 48.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
