The Syndicate States of Rantarod is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mick Rantus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.19 billion Rantarodians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rantopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Rantarodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,546 trillion Forgaps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 168,256 Forgaps, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, chocolate in Rantarod has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, and Mick Rantus has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rantarod's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rantarod is ranked 167,437th in the world and 16th in Aros Elyium for Most Stationary, with 108.72189569572 days.
