The Republic of Rishab Land is a large, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 99 million Rishab Landians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.
The strong Rishab Landian economy, worth 5.52 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 55,770 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rishab Land's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Rishab Land is ranked 240,799th in the world and 667th in Talonia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
