The Confederacy of Byritand is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.602 billion Byritandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caspera. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Byritandian economy, worth 408 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,802 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,024 per year while the poor average 15,189, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Byritand's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Byritand is ranked 40,516th in the world and 52nd in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Stationary, with 1,114.0832800418 days.
