The Corporate Federation of Ridmona is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Charles Donato Ridmon with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.3 billion Ridmonans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corporatum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Ridmonan economy, worth 421 trillion Yuls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 183,384 Yuls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,676,199 per year while the poor average 2,187, a ratio of 766 to 1.
On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, and cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Charles Donato Ridmon's desk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ridmona's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ridmonism.
Ridmona is ranked 91,291st in the world and 190th in Refugia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,657.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
