The Democratic Republic of The Greater Rizal is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Victor Robinson with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.492 billion Greater Rizalians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canadia. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Rizalian economy, worth 731 trillion Puebes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 97,670 Puebes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, skateboarding is the only legal way to travel, and there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greater Rizal's national animal is the Hobgoblin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Followers of Lasondo.

The Greater Rizal is ranked 173,183^rd in the world and 2,221^st in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 105.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
