The Empire of Ring ideals is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 3.705 billion Ring idealsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Social Policy also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ring idealsian economy, worth 248 trillion Duckcoins 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 66,940 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Ring ideals in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ring ideals's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ring ideals is ranked 83,415^th in the world and 307^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
