The Musical Tea-Drinking Crows of Rengum in Lingo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emily the confused with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 4.519 billion Arborians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Electric Forest. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rengum in Lingoan economy, worth 612 trillion Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,602 Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Electric Forest spends billions upgrading public transport, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rengum in Lingo's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Scholarism.

Rengum in Lingo is ranked 313,832nd in the world and 3,707th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -17.03 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
