The Colony of Ciudad Riemstagrad is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.165 billion Ciudad Riemstagradians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Riemstagrad. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ciudad Riemstagradian economy, worth a remarkable 5,363 trillion Peseuros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 190,422 Peseuros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, naughty nobles are locked away in gleaming towers, a positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education, and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ciudad Riemstagrad's national animal is the Client, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ciudad Riemstagrad is ranked 39,902^nd in the world and 3^rd in SPACE for Most Developed, scoring 79.73 on the Human Development Index.
