The Most Serene Republic of Rent-a-Nation is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, flagrant waste-dumping, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.39 billion Rent-a-Nationians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Public Transport, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rent-a-Nationian economy, worth a remarkable 2,770 trillion coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,589 coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 419,071 per year while the poor average 21,725, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.

Doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rent-a-Nation's national animal is the schmuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Rent-a-Nation is ranked 298,060^th in the world and 11^th in The ProcrastiNations for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -18 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
