The Principality of Crown Rhine is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 13.049 billion Rhineans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crown City. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crown Rhinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,121 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,923 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families make most of their annual income from government benefits, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crown Rhine's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crown Rhine is ranked 323,287^th in the world and 4,036^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
