The Rheinland

The Imperial Founder of The Rheinland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 45.013 billion Rheinlandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The powerhouse Rheinlandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,860 trillion Lugers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 63,556 Lugers, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Rheinland's national animal is the Mauser, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Rheinland is ranked 188,641st in the world and 26th in Germany for Most Primitive, scoring -75.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
