The People's Republic of Redonia is a very large, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 174 million Redonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Redonian economy, worth 6.71 trillion Redonian Rubles a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,577 Redonian Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redonia's national animal is the Redonian Ironwolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Redonia is ranked 189,223^rd in the world and 3,530^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
