“We will fight you and We will win”

The Empire of Riltonia is a huge, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 327 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, corrupt, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11%. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail industries.

A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Riltonia's national animal is the riltonian dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the calconia.

Riltonia is ranked 15th in the region and 16,799th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
