The City of Rathdrum Idaho is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Alfredo Spuds with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.864 billion Rathdrumites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potatoville. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Rathdrumish economy, worth a remarkable 3,428 trillion Potato Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 181,732 Potato Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, Governor Alfredo Spuds spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rathdrum Idaho's national animal is the Jackalope Bass, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Potatoes.
Rathdrum Idaho is ranked 202,147th in the world and 11th in Idaho for Most Stationary, with 44.7677838486 days.
