The Ancient Uberstani Republic of Ridann is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Grand Protector with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, parental licensing program, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 26.873 billion Uberstani are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ultrapolis. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uberstani economy, worth a remarkable 7,592 trillion Lucres a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 282,524 Lucres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, it's not mass murder when the government does it, and mandatory blunting of cutlery has increased the popularity of soup-based meals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ridann's national animal is the Terrestrial Raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a blend of state backed philosophies.

Ridann is ranked 5,066^th in the world and 150^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,354.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
