The Restored First Republic of Ridnez is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Roberto Giannone with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.467 billion Ridnezites enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnifico. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ridnezite economy, worth a remarkable 3,484 trillion South Usean pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 279,464 South Usean pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 858,937 per year while the poor average 70,291, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Roberto Giannone's preferred candidate has lost second place by three votes, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ridnez's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ridnez is ranked 413^th in the world and 8^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 14,385.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
