The Rogue Nation of Ranst Ran is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 2.6 billion Ranst Ranians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ranst Ranian economy, worth 124 trillion Caveiras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,941 Caveiras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and the new Goat Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ranst Ran's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ranst Ran is ranked 62,431^st in the world and 105^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,523.3 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
