The Empire of Rhetiaa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Her Imperial Majesty Empress Odet with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.116 billion Rhetiaans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panem. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhetiaan economy, worth a remarkable 2,140 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,193 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, Rhetiaan diplomacy is by the book, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhetiaa's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of Rhetiaa.

Rhetiaa is ranked 6,003rd in the world and 151st in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 152 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
