The E-Democracy of The Rhein States is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Herman von Pückler-Muskau with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.562 billion Rhein Statesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heidelberg. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rhein Statesian economy, worth an astonishing 11,819 trillion Rheiner Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is a breathtaking 574,806 Rheiner Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frat-house partying has become the national pastime, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak. Crime is totally unknown. The Rhein States's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Absurdism.

The Rhein States is ranked 144th in the world and 3rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 770 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
