The Rogue Nation of Righteous Mythos is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Person Norman Bradley with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.022 billion Righteous Mythosians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Open Land. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Righteous Mythosian economy, worth 44.9 trillion Myths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,920 Myths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, the nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained Platypus, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Righteous Mythos's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Righteous Mythos is ranked 103,971^st in the world and 706^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
