The Republic of Rightus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Preiksas with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.434 billion Rightusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balriv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Rightusian economy, worth 514 trillion Plucepis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,096 Plucepis, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
Light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, and tourists are duped into trimming hedges for the horsy-set. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rightus's national animal is the Wildcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.
Rightus is ranked 26,869th in the world and 1,814th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
