The Contract Viking of Rhaza is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the War Ministry with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 16.112 billion Rhazans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jomsborg. The average income tax rate is 12.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Rhazan economy, worth 783 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,657 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, divorce is illegal, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rhaza's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Defending.
Rhaza is ranked 229,942nd in the world and 6,929th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 24.77482442188 days.
