The Malicious Assassin of Riot is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.45 billion Riotians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The strong Riotian economy, worth 265 trillion malicious rubledollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,627 malicious rubledollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,407 per year while the poor average 3,048, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, Harry Potter books are banned, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Riot's national animal is the malicious hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Riot is ranked 229,177^th in the world and 2,948^th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Most Patriotic, with 6.16 flags saluted per person per day.
