The Brilliance of The Radiant One is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning penguin population. The democratic population of 3.053 billion Radiant Oneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Radiant Onean economy, worth 123 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,243 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Radiant One's national animal is the penguin.

The Radiant One is ranked 275,250^th in the world and 135^th in Stygian Abbey for Most Developed, scoring 51.07 on the Human Development Index.
