The Theocracy of Ribul is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Molt Honorable Primer Califa de Ribul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.763 billion Ribulians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fandomgrad. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ribulian economy, worth 228 trillion dinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,539 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, people hearing voices that tell them to commit crimes are automatically assumed to be holy, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ribul's national animal is the espanyol, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catalan Islam.

Ribul is ranked 14,380^th in the world and 1^st in Life sPAIN for Safest, scoring 116.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
