Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Principality of Kylesa is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its cynical population of 718 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. The average income tax rate is 21%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kylesa's national animal is the Stoner Bear, and its currency is the Sludge Token.

Kylesa is ranked 209th in Kyzikos and 66,479th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
