Trivia

 * Radio Television New Rhineland (RTN), the Bureau of Multicultural Broadcasting and National Christian Radio are the sole public TV stations in the country, although some other TV channels exist, and many cable networks have their own feeds in the country, such as Cartoon Network.
 * The country was formerly a leftist utopian semi-dictatorship (inspired by the Vlokozu Union) from 1971-1993, which ended with the resignation of Carlos Montes, the last president of the National Order.
 * Tattooing is frowned upon in the states of Bismarckia, Chadiweu and New Alsace and the city of Joinville as it has been known to cause skin problems and exacerbate mental health issues. Its strong connotation with criminals is also to blame. Joinville became the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere to ban tattooing in 1999. Tattooing was also discouraged during the New National Order era, with people having to hide their tattoos when in public.
 * New Rhineland's music industry enjoys the same level of popularity as those of Belgium and Malaysia. Popular singers and musicians include:
 * Carlos "Kay-D" Macedo, rapper
 * Jacob Nielsen, pop-swing singer
 * Marianna Meneghel, singer
 * Any form of child abuse, up to and including scolding, is forbidden and has been since 1983, when the National Order voted to ban any form of physical punishment from being inflicted on children. The penalty for violating such laws is a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
