The Musical Tea-Drinking Crows of Rengum in Lingo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emily the confused with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.322 billion Arborians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Electric Forest. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rengum in Lingoan economy, worth 430 trillion Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 129,628 Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in The Electric Forest for fear of causing a fuss, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and thalassophobia and heliophobia are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rengum in Lingo's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Scholarism.

Rengum in Lingo is ranked 7,840th in the world and 139th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 459.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
