The Filthiest Homeless Shelter of RITHS is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Joe Camel with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.308 billion RITHSians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tenderloin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient RITHSian economy, worth 905 trillion 40 Ounce Beers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 210,233 40 Ounce Beers, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Hell is not always other people, the world outside is only known of in folklore, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RITHS's national animal is the Homeless Drinker, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a hard night of drinking.

RITHS is ranked 308,461^st in the world and 3^rd in The Magistyrium for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.35 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
