The Free Land of Rihooka is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kirsten with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.7 billion Rihookans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Rihookan economy, worth a remarkable 1,691 trillion Ris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 133,214 Ris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, and politicians can be seen taking candy from babies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rihooka's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rihooka is ranked 5,286th in the world and 6th in Hippy Haven for Smartest Citizens, with 124.55 quips per hour.
