Rariteiten VII

Population2.291 billion

The Republic of Rariteiten VII is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.291 billion Rariteiten VIIians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rariteiten VIIian economy, worth 249 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,940 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, politicians have tenure, and burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rariteiten VII's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rariteiten VII is ranked 237,911th in the world and 7,566th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 22.3647079088 days.
