The Federation of Riverbrook

“Forward, Fair, Free”

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

The Federation of Riverbrook is a very large, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 289 million Riverbrookians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Riverbrookian economy, worth 15.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 52,483 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riverbrook's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Riverbrook is ranked 305,956^th in the world and 56^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
