The Democratic Republic of The Greater Rizal is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Victor Robinson with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.467 billion Greater Rizalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canadia. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Rizalian economy, worth 739 trillion Puebes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,075 Puebes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Greater Rizal's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, the arms industry is strictly regulated, foreign workers are flooding in as Puebes flood out, and there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greater Rizal's national animal is the Hobgoblin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Followers of Lasondo.

The Greater Rizal is ranked 255,322^nd in the world and 3,371^st in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
