The Silver Kingdom of Rathalas is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Highprince Dalinar Kholin with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.39 billion Rathalasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kholinar. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Rathalasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,387 trillion Spheres a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 297,419 Spheres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clumsy self-injury is a viable claim in modern compensation culture, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the number of judges has tripled in recent months, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rathalas's national animal is the Chasmfiend, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vorinism.

Rathalas is ranked 4,526^th in the world and 2^nd in The New Social Movement for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
