The People's Republic of Ronq is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 30.053 billion Ronqians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Ronqian economy, worth 685 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,781 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, voting is voluntary, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Ronq's national animal is the seagull, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Ronq is ranked 11,601st in the world and 2nd in A Liberal Haven for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.28 percentage of bribes refused.
