The Democratic States of Riotolla is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 90 million Riotollans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Riotollan economy, worth 3.54 trillion Rios a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,360 Rios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riotolla's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Riotolla is ranked 181,305^th in the world and 3,301^st in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 387.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
