The Riverside Kingdom of Rivierenland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Margaret II and PM Eleanor Cohen with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.598 billion Rivierenlanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utrecht. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rivierenlander economy, worth 557 trillion Guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 121,155 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rivierenland's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Rivierenland is ranked 23,389^th in the world and 301^st in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 121,155.28 Standard Monetary Units.
