The Most Serene Republic of Roni Tha is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.033 billion Roni Thans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Roni Than economy, worth 477 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,880 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Roni Tha's national animal is the Giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Roni Tha is ranked 109,859^th in the world and 5,242^nd in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 9.99 kickbacks per hour.
