The Bewitchingly Agile Assassin of The Ripple Effect is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.596 billion Ripple Effectians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Ripple Effectian economy, worth 130 trillion Kunais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,154 Kunais, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,102 per year while the poor average 5,240, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, and the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Ripple Effect's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Ripple Effect is ranked 111,322^nd in the world and 1,773^rd in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 20.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
