The Republic of Radden is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 553 million Raddenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Raddenian economy, worth 24.3 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,854 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, and Radden has designated Radden City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Radden's national animal is the lion.

Radden is ranked 164,547^th in the world and 12^th in Warzone Airspace for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,167.84 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
