The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.087 billion Riassis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riastok. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 787 trillion Auremuses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,605 Auremuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, sex changes are routinely performed at Riassi's hospitals, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Riassi's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Riassi is ranked 63,494^th in the world and 25^th in Albastru for Highest Drug Use, scoring 247.9 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
