The Oppressed Peoples of Rhelonta is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 6.573 billion Rhelontans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Rhelontan economy, worth 195 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,712 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Rhelonta in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhelonta's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhelonta is ranked 85,837^th in the world and 495^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
