The Antiquity of Ancient Riem is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.499 billion Ancient Riemians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Ancient Riemian economy, worth 823 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,648 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 373,249 per year while the poor average 33,814, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.
Safety warnings are prohibited lest they give people ideas, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, and visitors to Ancient Riem are microchipped and must be escorted by an Ancient Riemian soldier - even to the bathroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ancient Riem's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ancient Riem is ranked 14,109th in the world and 8th in Riemst for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,049.17 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
