Location: The Jesuit Nations

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Rangergirnia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 1.946 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government is mainly concerned with Commerce, although Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 25%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, eight year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rangergirnia's national animal is the Lepearchaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Lemming.

Rangergirnia is ranked 186th in The Jesuit Nations and 44,415th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
