The Theocracy of Ribul is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Molt Honorable Primer Califa de Ribul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.804 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fandomgrad. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ribulian economy, worth 236 trillion dinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,259 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Property subletting is going underground, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. 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 18,815^th in the world and 1^st in Life sPAIN for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,489.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
