The Theocracy of Righteousistan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Julio Danger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.065 billion Righteousistaners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karenville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Righteousistanian economy, worth a remarkable 9,137 trillion Markkaas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 396,168 Markkaas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,155,684 per year while the poor average 107,309, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

Teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices, and fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Righteousistan's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic.

Righteousistan is ranked 332,148^th in the world and 24^th in Mexico for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 9.51 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
