The Colony of Ringwralmo is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, flagrant waste-dumping, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 593 million Ringwralmoans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ringwralmoan economy, worth 57.4 trillion Mauses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 96,721 Mauses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", solar death ray construction will commence as soon as it rains Mauses, Ringwralmoans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ringwralmo's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ringwralmo is ranked 253,896^th in the world and 930^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
