The Republic of Ryeonju is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8 million Ryeonjuans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The Ryeonjuan economy, worth 484 billion won a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,622 won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pursuing a new programme aimed at promoting cultural sophistication, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, colonial subjects have Ryeonjuan culture shoved down their throats, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ryeonju's national animal is the horangi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryeonju is ranked 49,936^th in the world and 2^nd in Korea for Nicest Citizens, with 17.69 average smiles per day.
