The Empire of Rengakure is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.705 billion Rengakureans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rengakurean economy, worth 853 trillion Rencoins 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 127,219 Rencoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's always rabbit season, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and the big red machine has ground to a halt. Crime is totally unknown. Rengakure's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rengakure is ranked 285,608^th in the world and 3,895^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.24 flags saluted per person per day.
