The Republic of Ritenbenck is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.699 billion Ritenbenckians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The strong Ritenbenckian economy, worth 74.1 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 43,639 deniers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 281,260 per year while the poor average 2,735, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ritenbenck's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ritenbenck is ranked 256,946^th in the world and 9^th in Nusantara Archipelago for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
