The Republic of Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Jan-Hendrik le Feu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.63 billion Rhoonieuwers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stengelbron. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The strong Vrystaat economy, worth 670 trillion Rhoonieuwe Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 63,049 Rhoonieuwe Rand, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,958 per year while the poor average 15,605, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Military spending recently hit a new high, Calvinism has been named as Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat's national religion, Jan-Hendrik le Feu has just been declared ruler of Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat in an international press conference, and Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat has designated Stengelbron as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Calvinism.

Rhoonieuwe-Vrystaat is ranked 317,769^th in the world and 84^th in The TWR and NE Puppet Depot for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -8.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
