The Republic of Ringnesia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.242 billion Ringnesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ringnesian economy, worth 335 trillion Ringits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,000 Ringits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, the true length of the coastline of Ringnesia may never be measured, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ringnesia's national animal is the Echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ringnesia is ranked 61,649^th in the world and 1,843^rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
