The State of La Riojania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Célaga with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.293 billion Riojanos 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinchina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Riojano economy, worth 636 trillion Peso Riojanoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,352 Peso Riojanoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 673,629 per year while the poor average 20,010, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, military spending is on the increase, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Riojania's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Evangelism.

La Riojania is ranked 28,464^th in the world and 16^th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,766.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
