Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Renatusia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Milton Hamilton with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.573 billion Renatusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paine. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Renatusian economy, worth 226 trillion Renatusian Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,526 Renatusian Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, eminent domain has been abolished, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Renatusia's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ceremonial Deism.

Renatusia is ranked 89,021^st in the world and 468^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
