The Federal Republic of Rhode-Island is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate population of 15.308 billion Rhode-Islanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corgitown. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rhode-Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,531 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,059 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, high school bands practice by moonlight, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhode-Island's national animal is the Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Rhode-Island is ranked 38,222^nd in the world and 1^st in Saeculum Obscurum for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 218.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
