The Commonwealth of Riverlandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Johnathan with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Riverlandian economy, worth 231 trillion Riverlandian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,529 Riverlandian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

College-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riverlandia's national animal is the Siamese Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
