Irritable Rah

A small, yet important man rose up to the podium. He was not the Rah, but this was not a surprise, for he only made brief public appearences and even then said very little. The man on the podium cleared his throat. "We are here today to share some end of year statistics and discuss the possible targets for next year. I shall start with the country that I am representing- The Holy Empire of Irritable Rah. Our current exchange rate is reasonable at 1.0823 rahs = $1. Our tax rate is a mere 6% but is likely to rise slightly over the next year. We are proud of our largest industry, arms manufacturing, which helps us in our ongoing strain to raise defence. The unemployment rate is 11.17% but this can be sorted. Finally I shall end with the fact that this country started growing only quite recently, but all 62000000 inhabitants are striving to keep the country rich." The small man took a seat and waited for another speaker to take his place.
