The Queendom of Poison Ringo is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.034 billion Poison Ringoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Poison Ringoan economy, worth 10.6 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,249 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poison Ringo's national animal is the raven.

Poison Ringo is ranked 84,675^th in the world and 1,260^th in Ambition for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 327.15 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
