The Dictatorship of Rie Shima is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.891 billion Rie Shimen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Public Transport, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 5.8%.

The Rie Shiman economy, worth 550 trillion lire a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,709 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned leopardball fields, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rie Shima's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rie Shima is ranked 305,935^th in the world and 1,397^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
