The Kingdom of King Rankmore is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Rankmore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 3.933 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of KingRankopolis. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Soda Sales.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. King Rankmore's national animal is the Red Back Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Cricket, and its currency is the VB Can.

King Rankmore is ranked 1st in Australia and 717th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 282 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
