The People's Republic of Ranjeetstan is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12 million Ranjeetstanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Ranjeetstanian economy, worth 890 billion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 74,210 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,680 per year while the poor average 15,137, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ranjeetstan's national animal is the Panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ranjeetstan is ranked 314,192^nd in the world and 1,120^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -6.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
