The Grand Duchy of Red Ten is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.131 billion Red Tenians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The Red Tenian economy, worth 227 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,337 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime is moderate. Red Ten's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Red Ten is ranked 194,566^th in the world and 19^th in Newlandia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 480.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
