The Third Empire of Rishivaraja is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Devaraja Suryavarman IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.146 billion Rishivarajis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rishivaraja. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rishivaraji economy, worth 136 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 118,721 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-baht mansions, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Rishivaraja as a reminder of their "special relationship", and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rishivaraja's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Rishivaraja is ranked 33,797^th in the world and 51^st in Eladria for Smartest Citizens, with 53.23 quips per hour.
