The Republic of Ready to Be is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning stardust population. The hard-working population of 306 million Ready to Beans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.0%.

The Ready to Bean economy, worth 14.0 trillion moonlarks a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 45,614 moonlarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ready to Be's national animal is the stardust, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ready to Be is ranked 150,597^th in the world and 54^th in One in a Million for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.2 percentage of bribes refused.
