The Most Serene Republic of Ritolandia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 263 million Ritolandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Ritolandian economy, worth 11.4 trillion Rarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,221 Rarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ritolandia's national animal is the Tabantha Moose.
Ritolandia is ranked 277,188th in the world and 119th in Ridgefield for Most Extreme, scoring 6.15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
