The Empire of Rhendagar is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hult with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 9.625 billion Rhendagarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Sky. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhendagarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion Rhens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 178,110 Rhens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being dead no longer has any benefits, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, and the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhendagar's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhendagar is ranked 2,470^th in the world and 107^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 136.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
