The Apolistic Archempire of Rhenzern is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Erzkaiser Heinrich II Rosechloss with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.364 billion Rhens 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorün. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhenish economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion Rosmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,738 Rosmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is said to have a martyrdom complex, art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, kindhearted Rhens generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, and it's a jungle out there. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhenzern's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rhine Christianity.

Rhenzern is ranked 87,640^th in the world and 12^th in Callista for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,901.22 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
