The Republic of Ringnesia is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.312 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 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ringnesian economy, worth 332 trillion Ringits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,593 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 165,402^nd in the world and 3,606^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 202.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
