The Republic of Riverflow is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 255 million Riverians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Riverflowian economy, worth 13.4 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,364 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and replacement organs are grown in vats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riverflow's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Riverflow is ranked 195,614th in the world and 1,444th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 53.29682005668 days.
