The Free Land of Rhynoxia is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.445 billion Rhynoxians 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sadrith Vegas. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhynoxian economy, worth 561 trillion Bottlecaps 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,416 Bottlecaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and the RBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rhynoxia's national animal is the Scrib, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhynoxia is ranked 6,675th in the world and 144th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 41.37 average smiles per day.
