The Republic of Renet is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Peter Hall with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.913 billion Renetians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cary. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Renetian economy, worth 512 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,751 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody knows why the caged pig sings, books are so highly regarded in Renet that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, the price of freedom is about half a million dollars, and R-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Renet's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Renet is ranked 237,172^nd in the world and 114^th in The Western Isles for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -2.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
