The Popovtsy Tsardom of Revnitelia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Sergei Serebryakov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.723 billion Revniteles are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moskva. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Revnitelic economy, worth a remarkable 2,846 trillion roubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,736 roubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, the nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, and top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Revnitelia's national animal is the brown bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox-Old Rite.

Revnitelia is ranked 8,211^th in the world and 1^st in Slavia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 448 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
