The Republic of Renmen is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 134 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Renmenian economy, worth 3.87 trillion gourdes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,877 gourdes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and chickens roam the streets freely. Crime is totally unknown. Renmen's national animal is the emu.

Renmen is ranked 48,806^th in the world and 171^st in the Plains of Perdition for Smartest Citizens, with 44.41 quips per hour.
