The Federal Republic of Rhode-Island is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.065 billion Rhode-Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rhode-Islandian economy, worth 952 trillion Pounds 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 94,665 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", every week is blindness awareness week, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhode-Island's national animal is the Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Rhode-Island is ranked 15,792^nd in the world and 8^th in Saeculum Obscurum for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
