The Community of Rhaqa is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Raq Riobren with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.302 billion Rhaqers 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.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Raq City. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Rhaqan economy, worth 727 trillion gils 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 major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 137,229 gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is totally unknown. Rhaqa's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rhaqa is ranked 3,160th in the world and 81st in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 138.92 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
