The Republic of RISC OS 4 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.746 billion RISC OS 4ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The very strong RISC OS 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion bytes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,084 bytes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,919 per year while the poor average 14,819, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, it's a hard-knock life for the orphans doing factory work for a pittance, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RISC OS 4's national animal is the ARM processor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RISC OS 4 is ranked 84,418^th in the world and 9^th in The Trunk of a Pontiac Tempest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,559.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
