The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.908 billion Riassis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, 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 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 755 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 reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,289 Auremuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Lending money has become a major liability, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, Emekri Zoulatesh's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and Emekri Zoulatesh wears a chewed-up rubber chicken suit to meet foreign delegates. 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 1,634^th in the world and 1^st in Albastru for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 13,304.84 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
