The Confederacy of Rival Bout is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.671 billion Rival Boutians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The very strong Rival Boutian economy, worth 675 trillion Bits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,906 Bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,089 per year while the poor average 14,788, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

All citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rival Bout's national animal is the I-Frame, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rival Bout is ranked 225,451^st in the world and 15^th in The Great Chili for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 214.87 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
