Overview • PeopleGovernmentEconomyTrendAnalysis

The Startling Empire of Riemstagrad is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Farao Rambert IV with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 20.204 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riemstagradgrad. Income tax is unheard of. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Vegetarianism is compulsory, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Riemstagradgrad Times is sold out, voting is voluntary, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Riemstagrad's national animal is the agapornis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Heavy Metal, and its currency is the dinar.

Riemstagrad is ranked 104th in belgium and 101,485th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -15 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
