The Theocracy of Righteousistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Julio Danger with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.843 billion Righteousistaners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karenville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Righteousistanian economy, worth a remarkable 8,832 trillion Markkaas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 386,643 Markkaas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,280,517 per year while the poor average 87,203, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, and politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Righteousistan's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic.

Righteousistan is ranked 316,160th in the world and 30th in Mexico for Most Secular, with 0.46 Atheism Rate.
