The Dictatorship of Ryujins is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Shin Ryujin with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.221 billion Ryujinsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shin Ryujin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.0%.

The all-consuming Ryujinsian economy, worth 301 trillion ryus a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,521 ryus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 568,780 per year while the poor average 6,824, a ratio of 83.3 to 1.

90% of active duty RAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryujins's national animal is the ryu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ryujinism.

Ryujins is ranked 314,326^th in the world and 187^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Nudest, with 2.75 cheeks per square mile.
