The Federation of Ranoa is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 82 million Ranoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.

The strong Ranoan economy, worth 4.92 trillion Ranoan Notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,002 Ranoan Notes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,529 per year while the poor average 16,319, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Leader is spelt now, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, fraternities are notoriously exclusive, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ranoa's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ranoa is ranked 100,209^th in the world and 16^th in ScuffiaProjectia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 565.58 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
