The Star Sovereignty of Rhinara is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 47.732 billion Rhinarans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhinara City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.1%.

The all-consuming Rhinaran economy, worth an astonishing 19,254 trillion talons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 403,396 talons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,882,827 per year while the poor average 51,734, a ratio of 36.4 to 1.

Terrorists who are 17th cousins with the ex-wives of half-brothers of citizens are now exempt from the immigration ban, the endangered saltwater humpback red dragon is only seen in captivity programs, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, and toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rhinara's national animal is the red dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.

Rhinara is ranked 309,334^th in the world and 43^rd in Stargate for Most Primitive, scoring -449.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
