The E-Democracy of The Rhein States is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Herman von Pückler-Muskau with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.785 billion Rhein Statesians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heidelberg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhein Statesian economy, worth an astonishing 12,038 trillion Rheiner Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 579,206 Rheiner Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sound of wooden legs echo throughout The Rhein States after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, Herman von Pückler-Muskau's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is totally unknown. The Rhein States's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Absurdism.

The Rhein States is ranked 231st in the world and 8th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 56,371.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
