The Free Land of Rentopia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 73 million Rentopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rentopian economy, worth 3.09 trillion ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,290 ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, high school bands practice by moonlight, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rentopia's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rentopia is ranked 198,523rd in the world and 3,833rd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 6.88 flags saluted per person per day.
