The People's Republic of Riwi is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.78 billion Riwians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghone. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Riwian economy, worth 165 trillion Riwins 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Information Technology. Average income is 92,751 Riwins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, the children of Riwi are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Red Dove'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riwi's national animal is the Red Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Riwi is ranked 32,811^th in the world and 15^th in Blue Ridge for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
