The 🪦 Gravestone Engraving of RIP is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 𝔅𝔢𝔫𝔢𝔳𝔬𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝕲𝖔𝖉 of Yodle with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 6.537 billion Deceaseds are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City Graveyard. The average income tax rate is 35.3%.

The large but underdeveloped RIPian economy, worth 185 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,364 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, and 𝔅𝔢𝔫𝔢𝔳𝔬𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝕲𝖔𝖉 of Yodle spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RIP's national animal is the Deceased, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

RIP is ranked 260,858^th in the world and 8^th in Galactic Empire of Sween for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
