The Syndicalist Union of Ragnaria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chairman of the Congress Philip Balfour with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.463 billion Ragnarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Congress City. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ragnarian economy, worth a remarkable 9,307 trillion People's Econas 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 295,819 People's Econas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ragnaria's national animal is the Akraklia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ragnaria is ranked 291,823rd in the world and 382nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -42.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
