The Principality of Crown Rhine is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 13.227 billion Rhineans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crown City. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crown Rhinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,137 trillion kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,011 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crown Rhine's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crown Rhine is ranked 22,622^nd in the world and 522^nd in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.14 percentage of bribes refused.
