The Confederate Republic of Ranoria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nicolas Mandelbaum with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.88 billion Ranorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richardson. The average income tax rate is 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ranorian economy, worth a remarkable 6,486 trillion Ranorian Digital Currency Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 224,605 Ranorian Digital Currency Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, you can't spell society without CIS, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and if there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ranoria's national animal is the Snow Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ranoria is ranked 1,448^th in the world and 1^st in Winterfell for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 182.85 on the Hayek Index.
