The E-Democracy of The Rhein States is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Herman von Pückler-Muskau with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.805 billion Rhein Statesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

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 12,055 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 579,434 Rheiner Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. 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 435th in the world and 30th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7,027.37 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
