The Workers Rhineland Republics of Rhineland Ruhr and Alsace Lorraine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ulrike Breizerc with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 23.772 billion Rhinelandruhrians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyperion. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhineland Ruhr and Alsace Lorrainean economy, worth a remarkable 4,699 trillion R-R AL Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 197,687 R-R AL Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of R-R AL Marks are spent to take high-quality photos of the Gold Eagle Nebula, gossip magazines have pictures of Ulrike Breizerc sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, many friends and relatives of Ulrike Breizerc have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhineland Ruhr and Alsace Lorraine's national animal is the Gold Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Virtual Endless.

Rhineland Ruhr and Alsace Lorraine is ranked 2,826th in the world and 122nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 132.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
