The Riyacea of Uvalor is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aitkin Luthor with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 6.98 billion Riyacis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yovulgrad. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riyaci economy, worth a remarkable 1,442 trillion Uuras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 206,701 Uuras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, it's best to decline if Aitkin Luthor offers to buy a round of drinks, ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV', and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uvalor's national animal is the Riyaci Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Riyaci Orthodox Church.

Uvalor is ranked 7,821^st in the world and 182^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
