The State of La Riojania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Célaga with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.151 billion Riojanos are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinchina. The average income tax rate is 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Riojano economy, worth 542 trillion Peso Riojanoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 130,754 Peso Riojanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Riojano police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, and all screens are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Riojania's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Evangelism.
La Riojania is ranked 100,488th in the world and 50th in Anteria for Most Stationary, with 434.9423258034 days.
