The People's Republic of RTM18 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory vegetarianism, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 1.488 billion RTM18ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The RTM18ian economy, worth 47.6 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,968 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned crocodileball fields, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, typing Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RTM18's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

RTM18 is ranked 236,822^nd in the world and 111^th in Hell for Nudest, with 83.25 cheeks per square mile.
