The Dictatorship of Ridi is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.714 billion Ridians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redacted. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.9%.
The all-consuming Ridian economy, worth 343 trillion Fimes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,742 Fimes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 682,283 per year while the poor average 12,248, a ratio of 55.7 to 1.
Murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, rare ecosystems are being ground into profit at a record pace, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, and rich and poor neighborhoods are divided by the Red Line. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Ridi's national animal is the A-10 Warthog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Ridi is ranked 233,101st in the world and 1st in Command for Highest Drug Use, scoring 68.76 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
