The Republic of Ringnesia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Danlo Wi Soli with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, conspicuous electricity pylons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 10.54 billion Ringnesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ringness City. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ringnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,061 trillion Ringits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,702 Ringits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is pouring billions into replacement brains, dictators have dubbed Ringnesia the land of lunatics, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, and suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods. Crime is totally unknown. Ringnesia's national animal is the Echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is There is no god.

Ringnesia is ranked 306,654^th in the world and 16,717^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
