The Promised Land of Releeshahn is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eavan Rafis with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 19.62 billion D'ni are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ae'gura. The average income tax rate is 91.9%.

The thriving D'ni economy, worth a remarkable 2,103 trillion Nures 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 107,201 Nures, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, royalty is so last century, lavish state dinners in Ae'gura are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Releeshahn's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Releeshahn's national animal is the Oocha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Word of Yahvo.

Releeshahn is ranked 171,656th in the world and 10th in The Doldrums for Most Stationary, with 95.21853628232 days.
