The Colony of Riemstagrad Kaarten Depot 14 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory vegetarianism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.025 billion Riemstagrad Kaarten Depot 14ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Riemstagrad Kaarten Depot 14ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 136,245 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, political candidates are regularly blocked for minor convictions from their teenage years, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riemstagrad Kaarten Depot 14's national animal is the Joker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Riemstagrad Kaarten Depot 14 is ranked 235,970th in the world and 7,361st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 22.6615827188 days.
