The Most Serene Republic of Rilini is a very large, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 131 million Rilinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Rilinian economy, worth 2.54 trillion Condors 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 19,397 Condors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rilini's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rilini is ranked 132,408^th in the world and 1,061^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,444.18 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
