The Restored First Republic of Ridnez is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Roberto Giannone with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.45 billion Ridnezites enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnifico. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ridnezite economy, worth a remarkable 3,457 trillion South Usean pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 277,743 South Usean pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 869,627 per year while the poor average 68,015, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Ridnez is renowned for its lax gun laws, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, asking what someone does for a living is considered a faux pax for being potentially jobist, and whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ridnez's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ridnez is ranked 6,628th in the world and 28th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Developed, scoring 93.05 on the Human Development Index.
