The Very Discreet Kingdom of Rhie is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Furei Raitsu with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.728 billion Rhieans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanh. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhiean economy, worth 803 trillion Delars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,228 Delars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex-ed is child's play, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Furei Raitsu, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhie's national animal is the leafy sea dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is all.

Rhie is ranked 4,334th in the world and 215th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
