The Dominion of New Riberiyn is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 301 million Riberiyns are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The strong Riberiyn economy, worth 19.5 trillion Rings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,854 Rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Riberiyn's national animal is the Fox.

New Riberiyn is ranked 212,193^rd in the world and 4^th in Riberiyn for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 570.95 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
