The Blessed Transmatriarchy of Riveraland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Elena IV with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 4.701 billion Riverans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesbos. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Riveran economy, worth 371 trillion petals 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 79,068 petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riveraland's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Trans-Sophianism.

Riveraland is ranked 186,178^th in the world and 7,838^th in The East Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
