The Sniper of -Ryobi- is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Ryobi with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.393 billion Ryobians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hebijo. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ryobiian economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 106,328 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, Ryobiian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the 'sing-a-long with Ryobi' album is a popular souvenir, and the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Ryobi-'s national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

-Ryobi- is ranked 32,308^th in the world and 9^th in Victory for Largest Populations, with 14.4 billion capita.
