The Community of Rumargan is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 465 million Rumargani enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moeby. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Rumargani economy, worth 35.1 trillion sprigs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,580 sprigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, and the staffroom being an "icky" colour is a perfectly acceptable reason to not accept a job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rumargan's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Rumargan is ranked 24,326th in the world and 8th in Gypsy Lands for Most Secular, with 44.85 Atheism Rate.
