The Grant of Rigulia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arduino Tollardo with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.702 billion Rigulians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The enormous, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villòschiovona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.2%.

The very strong Rigulian economy, worth 943 trillion livroes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,063 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 104,057 per year while the poor average 8,643, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Rigulia has designated Villòschiovona as its capital city, Arduino Tollardo has just been declared ruler of Rigulia in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Rigulia's national religion. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Rigulia's national animal is the dog and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Rigulia is ranked 274,883^rd in the world and 102^nd in Grant for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
