The Democratic Republic of Ringerland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Grand Eagle with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 29.353 billion Ringerlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ringerland City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ringerlandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,618 trillion googlerans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,409 googlerans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ringerland's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ringerland is ranked 882nd in the world and 41st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 100.62 Effective Tax Rate.
