The Riyacea of Uvalor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aitkin Luthor with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.112 billion Riyacis 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yovulgrad. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riyaci economy, worth a remarkable 1,448 trillion Uuras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 203,711 Uuras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uvalor's national animal is the Riyaci Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Riyaci Orthodox Church.

Uvalor is ranked 23,093^rd in the world and 414^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 44.19 flags saluted per person per day.
