“Isten, áldd meg a magyart!”

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

The People's Republic of Richard Rapport is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 434 million Richard Rapportians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budapest. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Richard Rapportian economy, worth 4.10 trillion forints 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 Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 9,450 forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, Richard Rapport has designated Budapest as its capital city, political activists are routinely executed, and small shoes often wash up on the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Richard Rapport's national animal is the turul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Richard Rapport is ranked 72,232^nd in the world and 1,009^th in the West Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 90.93 cheeks turned per day.
