The Rogue Nation of Rhinocerotidae is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Rhino Keras with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.54 billion Rhinocerotidaeans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhino City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.
The enormous but sluggish Rhinocerotidaean economy, worth a remarkable 1,703 trillion Rhinoxes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 87,188 Rhinoxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, school uniforms are compulsory, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhinocerotidae's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rhinocerotidae is ranked 132,112th in the world and 9th in Western Australia for Most Stationary, with 244.42785051052 days.
