The Free Land of Rihooka is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kirsten with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.661 billion Rihookans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Rihookan economy, worth a remarkable 2,571 trillion Ris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 137,801 Ris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Rihooka has found 2 easter eggs), people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, and one of the most popular models in Rihooka has a scarred face and one working eye. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rihooka's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rihooka is ranked 3,783rd in the world and 3rd in Hippy Haven for Most Developed, scoring 96.3 on the Human Development Index.
