The Republic of Ricefarm5 is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.322 billion Ricefarm5ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beledasariis. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Ricefarm5ian economy, worth 279 trillion farmer's yuhs a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,941 farmer's yuhs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ricefarm5's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ricefarm5 is ranked 88,897th in the world and 656th in Artificial Solar System for Smartest Citizens, with 37.69 quips per hour.
