The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.957 billion Riassis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riastok. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 762 trillion Auremuses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,705 Auremuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riassi tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, alcoholics are lauded as national benefactors within the halls of the Ministry of Finance, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and the hyperwealthy are given "Congratulations! You won Capitalism" trophies. Crime is totally unknown. Riassi's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Riassi is ranked 1,620th in the world and 1st in Albastru for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 13,345.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
