The Republic of Ridehale is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dominik O'Donnell-Wiggin with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, digital currency, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.521 billion Ridehaleans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Major Weston King. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ridehalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,775 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,471 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and the price of freedom is about half a million Dollars. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ridehale's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ridehale is ranked 16,903^rd in the world and 479^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 115.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
