The Dominion of The One Ring is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The hard-working, devout population of 485 million One Ringians 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, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Doom. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.

The strong One Ringian economy, worth 38.7 trillion rings 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 led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 79,843 rings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and The One Ring Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The One Ring's national animal is the ring wraith, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The One Ring is ranked 102,276^th in the world and 8^th in Mordor for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,737.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
