The Badlands of The Lone Ranger is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tonto with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 40.926 billion Rangers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The powerhouse Lone Rangerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,546 trillion silver dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 62,223 silver dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,943 per year while the poor average 8,004, a ratio of 36.2 to 1.

Citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, and blind dates tend to result in bruised shins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Lone Ranger's national animal is the palamino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Lone Ranger is ranked 173,834^th in the world and 1^st in Bethlehem for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 183.56 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
