The Free Land of Ryxia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 140 million Ryxians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Ryxian economy, worth 994 billion wishes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 7,097 wishes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, a government program is underway to revitalize Ryxia's beaches, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryxia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryxia is ranked 39,156^th in the world and 99^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Secular, with 27.87 Atheism Rate.
