The Queen's State of Rio Souris is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.591 billion Rio Sourisians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.
The powerhouse Rio Sourisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,203 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 42,096 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 144,422 per year while the poor average 9,005, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Genetic researchers have been expelled, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime is a problem. Rio Souris's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Rio Souris is ranked 24,999th in the world and 5th in Saskatchewan for Most Stationary, with 1,461.3697591672 days.
