The Serene and Neutral Republic of Rivergarden is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Maura with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.422 billion Rivergardenese are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rivergarden. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Rivergardenese economy, worth 270 trillion Corgs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,201 Corgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, and political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rivergarden's national animal is the Dwarf Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Rivergarden is ranked 205,549^th in the world and 141^st in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
