The Federal Republic of Rialfa is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Irama Ritolvsky with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.807 billion Rialfeins hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arithen. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rialfein economy, worth 944 trillion Vermas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 162,664 Vermas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, Irama Ritolvsky's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, and classes at Arithen University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rialfa's national animal is the Ganesha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rialfa is ranked 252,128^th in the world and 2^nd in Erethia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
