The Free Land of Renewed Detroit is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sandra Dusk-Helmsman with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.736 billion Detroiters 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.6%.

The strong Renewed Detroitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,578 trillion New Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 61,350 New Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,530 per year while the poor average 16,940, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Rice shortages have risen after paddy fields were drained to combat malaria, education and welfare spending are on the rise, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, and the only issue that Sandra Dusk-Helmsman has is that there aren't enough issues (Renewed Detroit has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Renewed Detroit's national animal is the phoenix.

Renewed Detroit is ranked 247,024^th in the world and 3,970^th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -109.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
