The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, residential tower blocks are surrounded by warrens of concrete tunnels, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love.

Risany Tripsonia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
