The New Intergalactic Hegemony of Rahoris is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Elfanxia the Greater with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 24.809 billion Rahorasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anukarabis. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The all-consuming Rahorisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,092 trillion Osirs a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,645 Osirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, and murder suspects plead the 'there was a rat beneath his chef's hat' defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rahoris's national animal is the Wolfhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rahoris is ranked 187,856^th in the world and 8^th in Star Trek for Largest Black Market, with 596 billion Standard Monetary Units.
