The Empire of Rhendagar is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Hult with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 9.725 billion Rhendagarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Sky. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhendagarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,736 trillion Rhens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 178,563 Rhens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In court almost every witness is a hostile witness, Rhendagarian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhendagar's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rhendagar is ranked 13,149th in the world and 746th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 143.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
