The Rogue Nation of Ryomen Kyuketsuki is a small, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23 million Ryomen Kyuketsukians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.5%.

The Ryomen Kyuketsukian economy, worth 1.05 trillion Blood Bags a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,511 Blood Bags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, all technology must be personally blessed by religious officials before purchase, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryomen Kyuketsuki's national animal is the Kyuketsuki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryomen Kyuketsuki is ranked 308,806^th in the world and 13^th in The Holy Hawk Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
