The Frantic Land of Rynthiol is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Fran with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 24.176 billion Rynthiolians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Public Transport, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crazytown. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Rynthiolian economy, worth 406 trillion Sohs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 16,815 Sohs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied elephant, Cynism has been named as Rynthiol's national religion, Fran has just been declared ruler of Rynthiol in an international press conference, and Rynthiol has designated Crazytown as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rynthiol's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Cynism.

Rynthiol is ranked 166,461^st in the world and 4^th in Summer Region II for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
