The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.976 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 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 766 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 reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,735 Auremuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Riassi is often a lifetime appointment, and television executives are interested in turning Emekri Zoulatesh's zany home life into a sitcom. 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 65,785^th in the world and 33^rd in Albastru for Highest Drug Use, scoring 245.18 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
