The Nigerian Empire of New Ryansville is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Ryan 5th with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.294 billion New Ryansvilleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagos. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Ryansvillean economy, worth a remarkable 1,086 trillion New Ryansvillean dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 253,001 New Ryansvillean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, female restaurant chefs are not allowed to have male customers, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and most barbers are also surgeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ryansville's national animal is the West African Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Ryansville is ranked 206,719^th in the world and 97^th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Avoided, scoring 1.62 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
