The Phoenix Empire of Rizorien is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Genderfluid Psychopath Ragniss II with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.144 billion Rizorients are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prophis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Rizorienian economy, worth a remarkable 1,189 trillion Rubis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,443 Rubis, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 780,495 per year while the poor average 21,161, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.
The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Rizorients any less frightened, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Rizorien are famed for their reasonable volume levels, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rizorien's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Church of the First Dragon.
Rizorien is ranked 40,983rd in the world and 490th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
