The Community of Renfield Corporation is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 148 million Renfield Corporation staff members are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Renfield Corporation economy, worth 16.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,933 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 982,595 per year while the poor average 1,475, a ratio of 665 to 1.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-bitcoin charge on their phone bill, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, one is likelier to die from puns than scurvy, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Renfield Corporation's national animal is the vampire bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Renfield Corporation is ranked 26,647th in the world and 1st in Pugtopia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,894.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
