The Imperia of Rigania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Георг 1 with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.127 billion Riganians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Рольсква. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.

The powerhouse Riganian economy, worth 177 trillion Рольs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,384 Рольs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rigania's national animal is the Зелёная Круглая Свинья, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Католизм.

Rigania is ranked 222,941^st in the world and 8^th in Confederation of Northern Regions for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 23.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
