The Dominion of Hope and Rationality is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.182 billion Rationels are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reverence. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Rationelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,059 trillion Cytes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 69,806 Cytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency, and Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hope and Rationality's national animal is the Porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Hope and Rationality is ranked 1,348^th in the world and 2^nd in The Confederation of Sovereign States for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 2,741.49 Tourists Per Hour.
