The Democratic Republic of Relevance is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Relevanceans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Relevancean economy, worth 374 billion Huge Dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,397 Huge Dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Polychromatic seas of leaves blanket the ground while sewers and drain pipes are clogged by their detritus, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down. Crime is relatively low. Relevance's national animal is the Tape Worm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Relevance is ranked 157,683^rd in the world and 8^th in Fascism Is The Best Ideology Ever for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
