The Federal Republic of Rizalia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Naga Lim with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.712 billion Rizalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maynila. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rizalian economy, worth 499 trillion Pilaks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,108 Pilaks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and Maynila spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rizalia's national animal is the Rizalian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rizalia is ranked 143,717^th in the world and 1,022^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 4.71 billion capita.
