The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.814 billion Riassis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riastok. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 731 trillion Auremuses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,916 Auremuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, and it's a jungle out there. Crime is totally unknown. Riassi's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Riassi is ranked 2,677^th in the world and 1^st in Albastru for Most Cultured, scoring 227 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
