The Kingdom of 564th Riech is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 202 million 564th Riechians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped 564th Riechian economy, worth 6.27 trillion Leader Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 31,044 Leader Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader", women who display their ankles are shunned by society, 564th Riechians believe the only thing that will make you happy is being unhappy with who you are, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 564th Riech's national animal is the Our Glorious King, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

564th Riech is ranked 67,421^st in the world and 41^st in Byzantion for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 455.58 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
