The Barely Stable State of La Riojania is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Lorena Colapinto with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.364 billion Riojanos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinchina. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Riojano economy, worth a remarkable 1,635 trillion Peso Riojanoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 174,646 Peso Riojanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Acknowledgement of minority groups is usually a Trojan horse, a popular Riojano saying is 'wishing upon a fallen jet engine', scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown. La Riojania's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Inti.

La Riojania is ranked 31,447^th in the world and 29^th in Anteria for Most Developed, scoring 82.4 on the Human Development Index.
