The Kingdom of The Riverlands Federation is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by queen Emily I with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.827 billion Riverlanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovior. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Riverlandian economy, worth 161 trillion Racams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 88,207 Racams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, citizens frequently duel to decide who gets to go for jury duty, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, and pranking is an art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Riverlands Federation's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sheepiaism.

The Riverlands Federation is ranked 280,744^th in the world and 3,129^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 41.2 billion Standard Monetary Units.
