The Unstoppable Force of Ranger is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Surdra with an even hand, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.191 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of That place over there. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology industries.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ranger's national animal is the German Shepard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Overkill, and its currency is the 556.

Ranger is ranked 17th in Nord and 36,504th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 5 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
