The Federal Republic of Riemstagorod is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.746 billion Riemstagorodians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riemstagorodian economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 126,142 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The official Riemstagorodian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riemstagorod's national animal is the Agapornis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Riemstagorod is ranked 84,702^nd in the world and 4,540^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
