The Community of Rhostohn is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 566 million Rhostohnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ambercall. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rhostohnian economy, worth 36.6 trillion Rhams 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 64,739 Rhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, and the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers. Crime is totally unknown. Rhostohn's national animal is the red-tailed swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhostohn is ranked 158,776th in the world and 84th in The Western Isles for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 691.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
