The Cloud Cuckooland of Rhina is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sargon The Grape with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.469 billion Rhinese 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akkad. The average income tax rate is 31.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhinese economy, worth a remarkable 4,678 trillion nanites 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 158,744 nanites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, government agents scour baking periodicals for subversive recipes, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, and having only one wallet stolen in a day is considered a cause for celebration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rhina's national animal is the mechanoceros, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Order of Atlantid.

Rhina is ranked 307,959th in the world and 2nd in NMS Cafe 42 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -10.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
