The Confederate Republic of Ranoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Reimund Victor Riess with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 12.818 billion Ranorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richardson. The average income tax rate is 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ranorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,687 trillion Handels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,634 Handels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Ranoria's national animal is the Ranorian Wolfhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ranoria is ranked 9,215^th in the world and 6^th in Winterfell for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 6,529.13 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
