The Horn of Africa of Ryensohne is a massive, genial nation, ruled by HIM Yohannes IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.06 billion Ethiopians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Addis Ababa. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ethiopian economy, worth 116 trillion birrs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,486 birrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, a major religion has been named as Ryensohne's national religion, and HIM Yohannes IV has just been declared ruler of Ryensohne in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ryensohne's national animal is the Lion of Judah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ryensohne is ranked 149,593rd in the world and 794th in Europeia for Most Patriotic, with 9.23 flags saluted per person per day.
