The Khanate of Qyrym is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Great Khan with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 6.94 billion Crimeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kharkov. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Crimean economy, worth a remarkable 1,628 trillion Altyns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 234,699 Altyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, astronauts take one small step for Qyrym and one giant step backward from confrontation, and the people's love for Great Khan is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qyrym's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Qyrym is ranked 21,558th in the world and 15th in Japan for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,167.37 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
