The Republica of Nueva Rivera is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Luís Gonçalves with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.68 billion Riverenses live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Principe. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Nueva Riveran economy, worth a remarkable 4,391 trillion Coronhas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 375,986 Coronhas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,608,964 per year while the poor average 56,325, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

Kids leave museums believing that some humans have six fingers, genetic research is facing major headwinds, AI citizens think only in binary, and the taste of spices can sail a thousand ships. Crime is totally unknown. Nueva Rivera's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianism.

Nueva Rivera is ranked 44,450^th in the world and 3^rd in Gaia Aeterna for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,923.79 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
