The Republic of Rimandi is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.745 billion Rimandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vissa. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rimandian economy, worth 630 trillion marks 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 109,700 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strategic bombers are being converted into preschools, the nation's diplomats are all talk and no action, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rimandi's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Rimandi is ranked 252,633^rd in the world and 141^st in South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -97.51 on the Hayek Index.
