The Republic of Kyrtizhan is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Thomas with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 20.629 billion Kyrtizhanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Princeton. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kyrtizhanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,814 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,428 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thomas's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, solar death ray construction will commence as soon as it rains rupees, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and music award shows include surprise polygraph segments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrtizhan's national animal is the bearded dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kyrtizhan is ranked 317,355^th in the world and 3,969^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
