The Republic of Rtelnameessea is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.144 billion Rtelnameesseans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rtelnameessean economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,074 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carcasses of double-deckers can be found littering high streets all around the country, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rtelnameessea's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rtelnameessea is ranked 93,297^th in the world and 946^th in Two for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,403.7 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
