The Revolutionary Republic of Rathesia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Benji with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.906 billion Rathesians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belapol. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Rathesian economy, worth 783 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,610 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, most ambassadors from Rathesia retire only a few years after being appointed, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown. Rathesia's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rathesia is ranked 287,907th in the world and 6,974th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.15 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
