The People's Republic of Rantopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 915 million Rantopians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cortopiz. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Rantopian economy, worth 63.9 trillion Rans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 69,845 Rans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rantopia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rantopia is ranked 135,075^th in the world and 322^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 3,791.02 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
