The Armed Republic of Krylik is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26 million Krylikians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The strong Krylikian economy, worth 1.32 trillion Krylik Vouchers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,871 Krylik Vouchers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,023 per year while the poor average 13,698, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Stage mothers commonly give their children the nickname 'Cash', social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, childish pranks are no laughing matter, and it's said that a Krylikian always pays his debts with significant compounding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krylik's national animal is the 钢铁战隼, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Krylik is ranked 256,225^th in the world and 709^th in Horizon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,698.71 Standard Monetary Units.
