The Republic of Riemstagrad 4M is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.794 billion Riemstagrad 4Mians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Riemstagrad 4Mian economy, worth a remarkable 1,964 trillion 4Ms a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,516 4Ms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

A new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, the leaders of Riemstagrad 4M are given the nod by their predecessors, territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, and the government has declared that sharing is uncaring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riemstagrad 4M's national animal is the 4M, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Riemstagrad 4M is ranked 86,898th in the world and 4,702nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
