The Democratic Republic of Ringerland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Grand Eagle with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 32.962 billion Ringerlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ringerland City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ringerlandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,497 trillion googlerans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,118 googlerans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, and there is one competing standard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ringerland's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ringerland is ranked 11,631^st in the world and 414^th in Balder for Highest Average Incomes, with 197,118.89 Standard Monetary Units.
