The United States of Rhandan is a large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 88 million Rhandanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The very strong Rhandanian economy, worth 5.75 trillion rhans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 65,392 rhans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, the cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Rhandan City" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Rhandan's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rhandan is ranked 97,287^th in the world and 2,371^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 15.35 flags saluted per person per day.
