The Armed Nation of Kyrek is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Drek Jayron with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.051 billion Kyrekians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Odeka. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kyrekian economy, worth 369 trillion Kyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 121,224 Kyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrek's national animal is the Arctic Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Kyrek is ranked 280,582nd in the world and 13th in The Southern Lands for Most Primitive, scoring -202.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
