The State of Randala is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Mistress Goldenaire with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.243 billion Typerians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Ecstasy. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Typerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,596 trillion kyunis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,826 kyunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older AIs regularly threaten to send newer generation AIs to Reform Programming if caught rounding up instead of down, the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and pranking is an art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Randala's national animal is the golden bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ̶.

Randala is ranked 10,948^th in the world and 523^rd in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 91.62 quips per hour.
