The Republic of Rhamondre Stevenson is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.468 billion Rhamondre Stevensonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.1%.

The large but inefficient Rhamondre Stevensonian economy, worth 125 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,794 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, Rhamondre Stevensonian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhamondre Stevenson's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rhamondre Stevenson is ranked 75,145^th in the world and 1^st in Phantoms of the Western Roman Empire for Most Authoritarian, with 1,249.95 milliStalins.
