The Colony of Rio Seco is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning bovina population. The democratic population of 2.804 billion Rio Secoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Rio Secoan economy, worth 74.9 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,708 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rio Seco's national animal is the bovina.

Rio Seco is ranked 208,336^th in the world and 7^th in Angola for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
