The Argentine Province of Rio Negro is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.188 billion Rio Negroans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Rio Negroan economy, worth 294 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 56,821 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Rio Negro's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Rio Negro is ranked 218,473^rd in the world and 2^nd in Argentina for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,118.15 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
