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

The Bannorn of Rihad is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Bann Revar vos Javono with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 8.754 billion Rihadians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marat. The average income tax rate is 23.2%.

The Rihadian economy, worth 455 trillion kamas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,033 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Loan operators are losing interest due to lost interest, family bonding sessions are considered immoral and are banned, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rihad's national animal is the sand cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Rihad is ranked 255,184^th in the world and 2^nd in Lobamba for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
