The Startling Empire of Riemstavik is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Pharao of Riemstagrad with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.588 billion Riemstavikians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riemstavik. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Riemstavikian economy, worth a remarkable 3,149 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,521 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Riemstavik's national animal is the Moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Metal.

Riemstavik is ranked 234,554th in the world and 7,224th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.17857544348 days.
