The State of Riggs is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.869 billion Riggsians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The all-consuming Riggsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 45,834 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 162,238 per year while the poor average 9,349, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, racial supremacists have a burning desire to deal with immigrants, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, and insomnia is slowly turning everyone insane. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Riggs's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Riggs is ranked 31,197th in the world and 1st in Santo Domingo for Most Primitive, scoring 69.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
