The Federation of Ranoa is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 122 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 Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The very strong Ranoan economy, worth 7.98 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 reasonably common. Average income is 65,385 Ranoan Notes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 206,659 per year while the poor average 15,795, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

Well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, it takes a village to catch a criminal, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success. 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 254,004^th in the world and 20^th in ScuffiaProjectia for Largest Populations, with 122 million capita.
