The United States of Krykalin is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 514 million Krykalinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 46.6%.

The all-consuming Krykalinian economy, worth 57.5 trillion Vullers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,926 Vullers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krykalin's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krykalin is ranked 17,163^rd in the world and 708^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 115.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
