The Commonwealth of Rhombia-de-AlfPi is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Confederal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.169 billion Rhombinese-de-Alfoes 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marx-Engels City. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rhombia-de-AlfPian economy, worth 110 trillion Aseos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 94,149 Aseos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Rhombia-de-AlfPi, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime is totally unknown. Rhombia-de-AlfPi's national animal is the Scottish Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rhombia-de-AlfPi is ranked 218,425^th in the world and 1^st in Democratic Socialist Nations of Rhomberi for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
