The People's Republic of Everything Decided at Random is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by some bloke who won the raffle with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.302 billion Randomians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arbitraria. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Randomian economy, worth 366 trillion legal tenders a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,293 legal tenders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Safe drinking water is considered a luxury, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, people are moving into treehouses in record numbers, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Everything Decided at Random's national animal is the Boghog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gambling.

Everything Decided at Random is ranked 92,453^rd in the world and 1,657^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 17.56 flags saluted per person per day.
