The Oppressed of Rahoris is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Secret with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.702 billion Rahorasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anukarabis. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The powerhouse Rahorisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,432 trillion Osirs a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,440 Osirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, on-duty Air Rahoris flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Rahorisian Space Agency, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rahoris's national animal is the Wolfhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rahoris is ranked 5,157th in the world and 3rd in Star Trek for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,940.66 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
