The United States of Krykalin is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 494 million Krykalinians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 44.4%.

The all-consuming Krykalinian economy, worth 54.9 trillion Vullers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,194 Vullers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, and corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Krykalin's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krykalin is ranked 89,703^rd in the world and 1,819^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,280.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
