The Republic of Railriders is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 24.234 billion Railridersians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Railridersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,910 trillion dimes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,825 dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", it's all white elephants on parade, the government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Railriders's national animal is the mongrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Railriders is ranked 104,262^nd in the world and 5^th in Train Station for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 836.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
