The Theocracy of Ribul is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Molt Honorable Primer Califa de Ribul with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.378 billion Ribulians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fandomgrad. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ribulian economy, worth 156 trillion dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,719 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', and police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ribul's national animal is the espanyol, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catalan Islam.

Ribul is ranked 8,736^th in the world and 1^st in Life sPAIN for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.78 years.
