The Republic of Riverigas is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 221 million Riverians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Riverigasian economy, worth 15.1 trillion Coronus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,492 Coronus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,722 per year while the poor average 6,542, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Riverigas's national animal is the Spotted owl.

Riverigas is ranked 289,474^th in the world and 56^th in The Free Nations Region for Largest Populations, with 221 million capita.
