The Riassi Republic of Riassi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emekri Zoulatesh with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.856 billion Riassis 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riastok. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Riassi economy, worth 744 trillion Auremuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,967 Auremuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, it's all white elephants on parade, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime is totally unknown. Riassi's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Riassi is ranked 158,919th in the world and 16th in Albastru for Largest Populations, with 3.86 billion capita.
