The Confederation of United Riveria is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jon C Olipima with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.461 billion Riverians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandeside. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The Riverian economy, worth 481 trillion Tereps a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 46,070 Tereps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

United Riveria has designated Grandeside as its capital city, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Jon C Olipima has just been declared ruler of United Riveria in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Riveria's national animal is the Riveria Dwelling Carp and its national religion is Eism.

United Riveria is ranked 228,792^nd in the world and 7^th in Andromedia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 188.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
