The Federated States of Rionion is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Vas ir'Madania with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.617 billion Rionians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nas Vykara. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,046 trillion tranjs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,933 tranjs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals in Rionion are too busy serving the needs of The North Pacific to see Rionians, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. Crime is totally unknown. Rionion's national animal is the red-tailed hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Greater Good.

Rionion is ranked 243,771^st in the world and 5,136^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
