The City-State of Rho Ophiuchi is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Corporations with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 6.284 billion Rho Ophiuchians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Rho Ophiuchian economy, worth a remarkable 2,799 trillion Kilograms of Iron a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 445,422 Kilograms of Iron, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,072,038 per year while the poor average 22,899, a ratio of 134 to 1.

Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, political shows are fit for purpose, and big game hunters travel to Rho Ophiuchi to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rho Ophiuchi's national animal is the Rotifer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rho Ophiuchi is ranked 41,656th in the world and 359th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,066.96811575108 days.
