The People's Federation of Rivel is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, devout population of 4.817 billion Rivelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rivelian economy, worth 773 trillion Ions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,394 Ions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is proudly free of crabs, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, judges are big know-it-alls, and children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rivel's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sanatan.
Rivel is ranked 296,202nd in the world and 13,843rd in Osiris for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -17 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
