The Kingdom of Riegelia is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 281 million Riegelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The strong Riegelian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Heris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,804 Heris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime is moderate. Riegelia's national animal is the Rigelian Deer.

Riegelia is ranked 78,357^th in the world and 44^th in Union Brazilian for Rudest Citizens, with 64.14 insults per minute.
