We welcome The Republic of Rhundaur



We welcome The Republic of Rhurndaur (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=rhundaur) as our 52nd nation member state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Republic of Rhundaur is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Commerce, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery industries.
Crime is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Rhundaur's national animal is the gorthorog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the telperiada.
