The Community of The Rhythm is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 8.172 billion Rhythmians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Rhythmian economy, worth 119 trillion Rhythms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 14,657 Rhythms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rhythm's national animal is the Night, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Rhythm is ranked 323,388^th in the world and 1^st in eclipsis for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,998.07 Standard Monetary Units.
