The People's Republic of Rad Asia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Powerless Queen Jenna with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.735 billion Rad Asians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panda City. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rad Asian economy, worth 314 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 115,145 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Rad Asia's border, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and solid-gold toilets are Rad Asian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rad Asia's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rad Asia is ranked 7,520^th in the world and 207^th in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 90.93 Effective Tax Rate.
