The Federation of Ranoa is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Ranoans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.

The strong Ranoan economy, worth 2.92 trillion Ranoan Notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,339 Ranoan Notes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 170,680 per year while the poor average 15,737, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

The Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', certain national parks offer tanning beds because the visitors never go outside, and Ranoan-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ranoa's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
