The Federated States of Rionion is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vas ir'Madania with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.85 billion Rionians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nas Vykara. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Rionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,429 trillion tranjs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 289,421 tranjs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, sentient AIs face their watery graves with a fixed smile, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime is totally unknown. Rionion's national animal is the red-tailed hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Greater Good.

Rionion is ranked 82,067^th in the world and 1,299^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 25.73 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
