The People's Republic of Rad Asia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Powerless Queen Jenna with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.601 billion Rad Asians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panda City. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rad Asian economy, worth 762 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 115,500 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rad Asia's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rad Asia is ranked 258,499^th in the world and 12,332^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.77 crimes per hour.
