The Syndicalist Republic of Rykkland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 39.786 billion Rykklanders 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 government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rykkburgh. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rykklander economy, worth a remarkable 4,319 trillion Spesoj 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 108,562 Spesoj, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Rykkburgh Times is sold out, Leader is plotting to coup the Pacific (Rykkland has found 4 easter eggs), court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rykkland's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rykkland is ranked 218,160^th in the world and 139^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 794.64 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
