The State of RHW xxii is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.939 billion RHW xxiians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong RHW xxiian economy, worth 643 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 40,377 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,519 per year while the poor average 2,169, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, RHW xxii has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of RHW xxii in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. RHW xxii's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RHW xxii is ranked 288,551^st in the world and 156^th in The Federation of Independent Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
