The Reialme Hiperurànic of Riam is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Riam Tanyersac with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.274 billion Riamencs 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castell Tanyersac. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Riamenc economy, worth a remarkable 1,973 trillion aurs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 238,547 aurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Riam Tanyersac on Riam's coulrophobia epidemic, there's nothing special about Riam Tanyersac, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime is totally unknown. Riam's national animal is the foc follet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is absurdisme.

Riam is ranked 250,434^th in the world and 35^th in Hiperuranion for Largest Black Market, with 140 billion Standard Monetary Units.
