“POWER IS EVERYTHING!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dictatorship of Rhalith is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by OUR ETERNAL OVERLORD with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.135 billion Worthless Drones are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of THE GREAT LEADER'S IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhalithian economy, worth a remarkable 2,551 trillion Souls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 251,766 Souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,009,928 per year while the poor average 7,431, a ratio of 270 to 1.

Asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rhalith's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rhalith is ranked 271,929^th in the world and 119^th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -9.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
