The Defender of Rhaza is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rhaza with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 16.31 billion Rhazans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concord. The average income tax rate is 13.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Rhazan economy, worth 769 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,188 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, divorce is illegal, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rhaza's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Defending.

Rhaza is ranked 140,345^th in the world and 1,775^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.29 kickbacks per hour.
