The People's Republic of Rad Asia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Powerless Queen Jenna with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.746 billion Rad Asians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panda City. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rad Asian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,844 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and Powerless Queen Jenna always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rad Asia's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rad Asia is ranked 3,351^st in the world and 96^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 57.82 average smiles per day.
