The Confederated Kingdoms of Reiserland is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Sigurður Hilbertsson with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.268 billion Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalmar. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Landic economy, worth 809 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,335 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Copyright laws have been abolished, Information Technology facilities are being turned into bat habitats, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reiserland's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Reiserland is ranked 270,991^st in the world and 622^nd in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 6.62 Obesity Rate.
