“In varietate concordia”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Rijekagrad is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 95 million Rijekagradians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rijekagradian economy, worth 4.47 trillion rjeks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,013 rjeks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, it's never "just a game" with Rijekagradian sports fans, fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rijekagrad's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rijekagrad is ranked 257,697^th in the world and 6,189^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.38 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
