The Won Kingdom of Ryeongse is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Won Jangyeon with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.178 billion Ryeongseans 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 Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Byeolsan. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ryeongsean economy, worth 188 trillion gunjeons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,528 gunjeons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and King Won Jangyeon's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryeongse's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gyunhyeongji.

Ryeongse is ranked 37,643^rd in the world and 17^th in Arkonos for Smartest Citizens, with 43.09 quips per hour.
