The Most Serene Domain of Kyorlui is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Adluo with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.168 billion Hikyoras are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hetuh Yusaweli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.

The powerhouse Kyorluian economy, worth 94.5 trillion Hikyora Standards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,917 Hikyora Standards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,257 per year while the poor average 19,826, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", genetic research has been halted, education for the poor is learning to ask "do you want fries with that?", and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyorlui's national animal is the Nuityer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kyorlui is ranked 326,557^th in the world and 17,738^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.74 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
