The Republic of Resolution is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning emu population. The quiet, industrious population of 8.75 billion Resolutionians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Resolutionian economy, worth 258 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 29,519 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Resolution's national animal is the emu.

Resolution is ranked 165,487^th in the world and 5^th in Lands of the Ooga for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
