“Morality pervails!”

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

The United Socialist States of Relivium is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aterompus with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.567 billion Reliviumians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Reliviumian economy, worth 225 trillion Aters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Average income is 87,847 Aters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown. Relivium's national animal is the Atertresus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Relivium is ranked 10,397^th in the world and 337^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,622.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
