A desolate wasteland colonized by the Arcand, it was populated mostly by exiled criminals, prospectors, and brave ranch owners. Made up mostly of desert and grassland in the interior, as well as a rim of rain forests, the nation is mostly habitable around the coast, though the natives within tend to like to consider the land their own. Regardless, the two peoples coexist without much incident.
Their nation is made up mostly of mining, manufacturing, ranching, and farming, with a bit of brewing for good measure. Ranching in the region actually gave birth to the main company known throughout the Arcand Empire, as well as her former colonies, known only as Hemingway International. Their mainstay still remains to be ranching, and the massive Hemingway Ranch still rolls out over 500 million heads of cattle per year to feed the entirety of the Arcand and the nations that are or were under her banner.
The nation of Randers has a rivalry with the Ino-Kai colonies, usually only seen in sports
Due to the nature of their foundation, as well as the fact the Arcand gave them their independence in the 1950s, Randers does not support the institution of slavery within her borders, and will allow former or runaway slaves to become free by becoming citizens, similar to the qualifications of former or runaway slaves in the Arcand Empire.
