The Pony-Loving Catgirl of RiderSyl is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Sylvia Montresor with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.524 billion Sylians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joyea. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sylian economy, worth a remarkable 1,126 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,581 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and rumor has it that Queen Sylvia Montresor has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RiderSyl's national animal is the cute pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

RiderSyl is ranked 109,218^th in the world and 3,030^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,425.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
