The Confederative region of Ris Phith is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eduardo Lozano with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.389 billion Ris Phithians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ris city. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ris Phithian economy, worth 567 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,387 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Ris Phithian language, weight loss clubs that guarantee losing a stone a month are talking about misplacing rocks, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ris Phith's national animal is the Labrador retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Ris Phith is ranked 68,349^th in the world and 762^nd in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 20.6 flags saluted per person per day.
