The Power of The One Ring is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sauron with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.961 billion One Ringians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Doom. The average income tax rate is 31.2%.

The strong One Ringian economy, worth 328 trillion rings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 82,692 rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, The One Ring has been named as The One Ring's national religion, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The One Ring's national animal is the ring wraith, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The One Ring.

The One Ring is ranked 232,941^st in the world and 40^th in Middle Earth for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
