The Republic of Renmen is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 18 million Renmenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Renmenian economy, worth 453 billion gourdes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,200 gourdes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hungry families offer spare change to their social workers, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime is totally unknown. Renmen's national animal is the emu.

Renmen is ranked 322,893^rd in the world and 1,602^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 2.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
