The People's Grand Duchy of Risottia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Granduc Marc Primm with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 43.684 billion Risottians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Milan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Risottese economy, worth an astonishing 16,377 trillion ghells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 374,915 ghells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, finders keepers is the law of the land, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and scummy-looking teenagers outside government buildings sell bureaucrats spoofed ShortTok accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Risottia's national animal is the watersnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Risottia is ranked 3,122^nd in the world and 153^rd in Osiris for Longest Average Lifespans, with 93.7 years.
