The Commonwealth of Ryvinas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.303 billion Ryvinans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryvinas City. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ryvinasian economy, worth 82.6 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,386 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends. Crime is totally unknown. Ryvinas's national animal is the domestic cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryvinas is ranked 197,387^th in the world and 8,196^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.30 billion capita.
