The Humanist Geniocracy of Ryfin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Barahir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The democratic, cheerful population of 23.633 billion Edain are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ladros. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edain economy, worth a remarkable 4,211 trillion Silmarils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,195 Silmarils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryfin's national animal is the Wolf Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryfin is ranked 7,514^th in the world and 6^th in Middle Earth for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,462.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
