The Republic of River Tam is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Cattle population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.592 billion River Tamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 30.2%.

The River Tamian economy, worth 254 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 38,623 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. River Tam's national animal is the Cattle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

River Tam is ranked 256,220^th in the world and 4,268^th in eta for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,959.41 Standard Monetary Units.
