The Republic of Randomnations is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Great Sluiy with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 10.759 billion Randomnationsians 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 Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Random Number City. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Randomnationsian economy, worth 263 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,489 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Not even good behaviour will get transgender inmates any special perks, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and The Great Sluiy has just been declared ruler of Randomnations in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown. Randomnations's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Randomnations is ranked 132,913^th in the world and 3^rd in Random Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,426.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
