The Community of Rhostohn is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 578 million Rhostohnians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ambercall. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rhostohnian economy, worth 38.9 trillion Rhams 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 67,340 Rhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime is totally unknown. Rhostohn's national animal is the red-tailed swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhostohn is ranked 20,379^th in the world and 35^th in The Western Isles for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 77.59 Effective Tax Rate.
