The Confederacy of The Rhedlands is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.323 billion Rhedlandsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, moralistic government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Rhedlandsian economy, worth 147 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,357 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,192 per year while the poor average 17,376, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The The Rhedlands City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, the country has essentially become 2.323 billion nations within a nation, the people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation, and women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Rhedlands's national animal is the White Beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Rhedlands is ranked 196,860^th in the world and 22^nd in Edmundian Empire for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
