The District of RHW ix is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.092 billion RHW ixians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The very strong RHW ixian economy, worth 651 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,016 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,870 per year while the poor average 1,935, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, RHW ix has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of RHW ix in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. RHW ix's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RHW ix is ranked 202,192^nd in the world and 101^st in The Federation of Independent Nations for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
