The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.932 billion Riassis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riastok. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 756 trillion Auremuses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,383 Auremuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, the government is avowedly secular, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and Emekri Zoulatesh is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown. Riassi's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Riassi is ranked 1,521^st in the world and 1^st in Albastru for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 99.23 Effective Tax Rate.
