The United Empire of New Renardia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King-Emperor Vincent Renard with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.591 billion New Renardians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vincentsburg. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Renardian economy, worth 267 trillion Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 103,363 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, King-Emperor Vincent Renard has just been declared ruler of New Renardia in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Renardia's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Renardia is ranked 273,137^th in the world and 5,652^nd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -263.01 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
