The Grand Duchy of Kingdom of Rija is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Theodore I with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.952 billion Rijans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mångårig. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rijan economy, worth 194 trillion Gold coins a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,008 Gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and equality looks curiously unequal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Rija's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dalminismus.

Kingdom of Rija is ranked 54,279^th in the world and 106^th in Declansburg for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
