The Federation of Rhunau is a massive, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.585 billion Rhunauans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trachtenstadt. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Rhunauan economy, worth 44.9 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,315 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Rhunau in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhunau's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhunau is ranked 294,870^th in the world and 3,673^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 28,315.05 Standard Monetary Units.
