The Rogue Island of Rhode Inland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 29.05 billion Rhode Inlandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment, Education, and Social Policy also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Rhode Inlandian economy, worth 78.3 trillion pennies a year, is highly specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 2,693 pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, Rhode Inland's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhode Inland's national animal is the brown bear.

Rhode Inland is ranked 53,299^th in the world and 1^st in New England for Most Corrupt Governments, with 35.65 kickbacks per hour.
