The Holy Red Dwarf of Ace_ Rimmer is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ace Rimmer with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 40.945 billion Dwarfers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of What A Guy City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ace_ Rimmerian economy, worth an astonishing 13,781 trillion curries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 336,586 curries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ace_ Rimmer's national animal is the starbug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Spacecorps Directives.

Ace_ Rimmer is ranked 789^th in the world and 2^nd in Viking Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 178.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
