The Battle Bunny of Riven the Exile is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Riven with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and infamous sell-swords. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.61 billion Riven the Exileans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Riven the Exilean economy, worth 818 trillion Rutherfordiums 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 123,815 Rutherfordiums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, all beauty contests have been banned, and it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riven the Exile's national animal is the Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Riven the Exile is ranked 23,311th in the world and 6th in Simulated Universe for Most Patriotic, with 49.91 flags saluted per person per day.
