The Holy Empire of The Final Riech is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 104 million Riechians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Riechian economy, worth 4.23 trillion Dollas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,707 Dollas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Museums offer moralization or your money back, international trade can be a pain to deal with, war criminals are given full state funerals, and disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Final Riech's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Final Riech is ranked 35,602^nd in the world and 756^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 19.27 average smiles per day.
