The Autocratikstaat of Rionsergond is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Rion Gond II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.613 billion Rionsergondians 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eongrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rionsergondian economy, worth 670 trillion Rions a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 185,450 Rions, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,689,385 per year while the poor average 2,287, a ratio of 738 to 1.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, and corruption is a game of two halves. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rionsergond's national animal is the working man, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Monolith.

Rionsergond is ranked 191,813th in the world and 11th in Badlands Frontier for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 892.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
