The Allied States of Rilium is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.345 billion Riliumians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Riliumian economy, worth 191 trillion Rils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 81,526 Rils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,406 per year while the poor average 21,497, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Tuxedo rental companies are inexplicably going out of business, neighboring nations are tired of Rilium's big fish stories, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, and election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rilium's national animal is the Bee, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Rilium is ranked 103,374^th in the world and 4^th in Valderon for Smartest Citizens, with 36.03 quips per hour.
