The Most Serene Republic of Risenfall is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ryo Yamada with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.297 billion Risenfalleans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rokkakkei. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Risenfallean economy, worth 531 trillion ryoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,326 ryoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Risenfall are blocked up with orders for new public loos, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Risenfall's national animal is the nekomimi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Risenfall is ranked 58,150^th in the world and 1,398^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 100,326.67 Standard Monetary Units.
