The People's Republic of Rhadland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joseph Steel with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, soft-spoken computers, and ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 13.107 billion Rhads enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhadopolis. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhadlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,694 trillion rupees 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 129,309 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and people applying for famine relief must prove their gastrointestinal tracts are empty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhadland's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhadland is ranked 5,598^th in the world and 132^nd in the Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,763.55 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
