The Syndicalist Union of Ragnaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman of the Congress Philip Balfour with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.225 billion Ragnarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Congress City. The average income tax rate is 31.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ragnarian economy, worth a remarkable 9,186 trillion People's Econas 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 amazing 294,210 People's Econas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ragnaria's national animal is the Akraklia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ragnaria is ranked 306,482nd in the world and 405th in The Leftist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
