The People's Republic of East Radivia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Politburo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.506 billion East Radivians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Radivia City. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient East Radivian economy, worth 654 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 145,355 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Radivia's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

East Radivia is ranked 19,644^th in the world and 366^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
