The Holy Empire of The Final Riech is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 62 million Riechians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Riechian economy, worth 2.86 trillion Dollas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,152 Dollas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, camera crews have accompanied conscripted dancers to film 'Marching On Ice', condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Final Riech's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Final Riech is ranked 76,639^th in the world and 1^st in Riechland for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,860.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
