The Oppressed Peoples of Rangereen is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.084 billion Rangereens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Longdike. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.
The very strong Rangereen economy, worth 114 trillion kilos 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 106,029 kilos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 306,630 per year while the poor average 29,071, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.
The government's approval ratings go down while its turnover rate goes up, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rangereen's national animal is the Beatle.
Rangereen is ranked 194,368th in the world and 870th in Europeia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
