The Parlamental Republic of Rinascenza is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Stoc Azzo with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.03 billion Rinascenzans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bergamo. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rinascenzan economy, worth 464 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 153,331 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes several hours to shuffle the national deck, voters must decide whether to go number one or number two, scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rinascenza's national animal is the Salamandrina terdigitata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thelonesimo.

Rinascenza is ranked 14,529^th in the world and 162^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
