The Syndicalist Union of Ragnaria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman of the Congress Philip Balfour with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 36.596 billion Ragnarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Congress City. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ragnarian economy, worth an astonishing 11,036 trillion People's Econas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 301,563 People's Econas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, in a baffling press conference Chairman of the Congress Philip Balfour proudly dismantled a broken door, builders across Ragnaria are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ragnaria's national animal is the Akraklia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ragnaria is ranked 2,919^th in the world and 3^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 36.6 billion capita.
