The Cloud Cuckooland of Rhina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sargon The Grape with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 24.355 billion Rhinese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akkad. The average income tax rate is 14.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhinese economy, worth a remarkable 3,536 trillion liens 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an impressive 145,208 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, Sargon The Grape's new office has a propensity to catch on fire, the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, and a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously". Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rhina's national animal is the Grimm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The New Faith.

Rhina is ranked 18,386^th in the world and 2^nd in New Hyperion for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,359.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
