The Allied States of Rational Revolution is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Most Rational Bob with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, humorless population of 28.838 billion Rationals are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rationality. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Rational economy, worth a remarkable 2,761 trillion bobs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,751 bobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rational Revolution's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rational Revolution is ranked 14,243rd in the world and 8th in Gypsy Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
