The End of an Era of The Return of the King is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aragorn with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.373 billion Return of the Kingians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The White City. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Return of the Kingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,781 trillion Towers a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 130,144 Towers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government buildings are being cleansed for anything that might have racist connotations, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and retired racing eagles are served truffles for breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Return of the King's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Eru Ilúvatar.

The Return of the King is ranked 295,424th in the world and 3rd in Eggplant City for Most Cultured, scoring 48 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
