The Holy Empire of Rhaesia is a small, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 23 million Rhaesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rhaesian economy, worth 1.22 trillion aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 52,967 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's all white elephants on parade, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhaesia's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rhaesia is ranked 153,463^rd in the world and 190^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,967.44 Standard Monetary Units.
