The Realist Federacy of Ronnlaxo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Realist Ronnlaxo the First with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 4.105 billion Realist Ronnlaxons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Lappland. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ronnlaxoan economy, worth 305 trillion Realist Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,368 Realist Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ronnlaxo's national animal is the Realist Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheist.

Ronnlaxo is ranked 221,862^nd in the world and 94^th in Palatine for Most Patriotic, with 3.93 flags saluted per person per day.
