The State of Rahouay is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.498 billion Rahouayians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Rahouayian economy, worth 130 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 17,415 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and Rahouay has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rahouay's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rahouay is ranked 283,670^th in the world and 1^st in Woodlawn for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,015.8 Standard Monetary Units.
