The Commonwealth of The Great Rivers Republic is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Miguel Hernandez with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.223 billion Great Riverans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuevos Comienzos. The average income tax rate is 66.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Great Riveran economy, worth 113 trillion Commonwealth Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,803 Commonwealth Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children are raised bilingual from an early age, real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, a bureaucratic fight over GRIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, and news headlines suggest that Prime Minister Miguel Hernandez has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Rivers Republic's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Great Rivers Republic is ranked 14,171^st in the world and 3^rd in Mazdadez for Safest, scoring 117.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
