The Riyacea of Uvalor is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aitkin Luthor with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.08 billion Riyacis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yovulgrad. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riyaci economy, worth a remarkable 1,455 trillion Uuras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 205,517 Uuras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uvalor's national animal is the Riyaci Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Riyaci Orthodox Church.

Uvalor is ranked 4,608^th in the world and 128^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 212.93 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
