The Island Republic of Riletta is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Saint Lana with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, devout population of 3.89 billion Rilettans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batman. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rilettan economy, worth 557 trillion Rilettan Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,204 Rilettan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riletta's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Riletta is ranked 17,310th in the world and 431st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 303.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
