The United States of Ryan Nation is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Ryan with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 14.99 billion Ryan Nationians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington RC. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ryan Nationian economy, worth 794 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,969 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture, and when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ryan Nation's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryan Nation is ranked 101,193^rd in the world and 5,248^th in Osiris for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,389.88 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
