The Holy Red Easter Omelet of Cyclone Ranger Beta is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Random Lord Beta with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, fear of technology, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 881 million Rangers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beta Central. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Windswept economy, worth 62.6 trillion silver bullets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,068 silver bullets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, Rangers are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, beat cops aren't named for the territory they patrol, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyclone Ranger Beta's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cyclone Ranger Beta is ranked 246,860^th in the world and 15^th in Cyclone Rangers for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
