The Dominion of Rivgalia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rivga the Eminently Persuasive with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.955 billion Ukaris are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kordeth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rivgalian economy, worth a remarkable 7,838 trillion firebirds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 374,079 firebirds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,916,771 per year while the poor average 12,283, a ratio of 237 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, and the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rivgalia's national animal is the cave cricket, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rivgantology.

Rivgalia is ranked 29,856th in the world and 17th in The Respected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,358.327429281 days.
