The Republic of South Rhinanish is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.458 billion South Rhinanishians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse South Rhinanishian economy, worth 114 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,789 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in South Rhinanish is often a lifetime appointment, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Rhinanish's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

South Rhinanish is ranked 106,675^th in the world and 4,237^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 21.85 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
