The Community of Rhostohn is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 554 million Rhostohnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ambercall. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rhostohnian economy, worth 32.5 trillion Rhams 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,618 Rhams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is totally unknown. Rhostohn's national animal is the red-tailed swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhostohn is ranked 34,589^th in the world and 66^th in The Western Isles for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,468.7 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
