The People's Republic of Rhadland is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joseph Steel with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 16.945 billion Rhads have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhadopolis. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhadlandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,195 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 129,557 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People applying for famine relief must prove their gastrointestinal tracts are empty, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, the rich and poor vomit into separate bags, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhadland's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhadland is ranked 6,446^th in the world and 137^th in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 93.36 on the Human Development Index.
