The Armed Republic of Rangooland is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning rat population. The hard-working population of 50 million Rats 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 Healthcare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.

The a Rat economy, worth 2.05 trillion bottle caps a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 41,066 bottle caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is moderate. Rangooland's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rangooland is ranked 231,129^th in the world and 3^rd in The Pacific Coast for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 15.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
