The Principality of Rindonesia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rin with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.231 billion Rindonesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rinsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rindonesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,117 trillion Sparrows a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 162,116 Sparrows, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,507 per year while the poor average 44,360, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, contestants on Rindonesia's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rindonesia's national animal is the Rinflower, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rinto.

Rindonesia is ranked 19,310th in the world and 1,285th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 102.96 kickbacks per hour.
