OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Revolutionary Republic of Rathesia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Comrade Benji with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.033 billion Rathesians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belapol. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Rathesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,015 trillion dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 168,275 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children are forced to sing the national anthem every morning, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime is totally unknown. Rathesia's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rathesia is ranked 60,697th in the world and 910th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 73.56 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
