The Confederacy of RistiLand is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.884 billion Ristishes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elsburg. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong RistiLandian economy, worth 277 trillion Rishtish Marks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,422 Rishtish Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to RistiLand's border, they say that Ristishes made a dessert and called it peace, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. RistiLand's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RistiLand is ranked 112,225^th in the world and 48^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,363.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
