The Humanist Geniocracy of Ryfin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Barahir with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The democratic, cheerful population of 23.685 billion Edain 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ladros. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Edain economy, worth a remarkable 4,201 trillion Silmarils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,401 Silmarils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryfin's national animal is the Wolf Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryfin is ranked 68,734^th in the world and 15^th in Middle Earth for Most Patriotic, with 20.45 flags saluted per person per day.
