The Republic of The Broken Ring is a large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 78 million Broken 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Broken Ringian economy, worth 3.37 trillion Nodes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,254 Nodes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Broken Ring's national animal is the Lightfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
The Broken Ring is ranked 135,690th in the world and 3,792nd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 65.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
