The Khanate of Qyrym is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Great Khan with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed population of 12.899 billion Crimeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kharkov. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crimean economy, worth a remarkable 4,050 trillion Altyns 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 314,039 Altyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Kharkov has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Free Japan, and colonial subjects have Crimean culture shoved down their throats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Qyrym's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Qyrym is ranked 15,057^th in the world and 2^nd in Free Japan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
