The Dictatorship of Risalg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Czar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.253 billion Risalgians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sankt-Petersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Risalgian economy, worth 282 trillion Arrobas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 125,110 Arrobas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 575,911 per year while the poor average 16,460, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, nobody is allowed to mention what religion terrorists follow, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Risalg's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Risalg is ranked 257,722^nd in the world and 5^th in IADG for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,460.14 Standard Monetary Units.
