The Confederate Kingdoms of Reiserland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sigurður Hilbertsson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.199 billion Reiserlanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalmar. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Reiserlandic economy, worth 177 trillion Reiserlandic kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,714 Reiserlandic kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Umbrellas are back in fashion, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reiserland's national animal is the Arctic owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Reiserland is ranked 13,736^th in the world and 290^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 140.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
