The Republic of Rinchan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.99 billion Rinchanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The Rinchanian economy, worth 240 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,144 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rinchan's national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Rinchan is ranked 27,639^th in the world and 110^th in eta for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.09 percentage of bribes refused.
