The Holy Empire of Flying Ravioli Monster is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.224 billion Flying Ravioli Monsterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 14.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Flying Ravioli Monsterian economy, worth 492 trillion parmesan cheeses 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Gambling, 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 40,287 parmesan cheeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, children keel over while singing "Leader Gives Us the Water of Life", and the automobile industry is sitting up and taking notice of the new 24 hour race events... as are the track's sleepless neighbours. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Flying Ravioli Monster's national animal is the ravioli, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flying Ravioli Monster is ranked 260,351^st in the world and 5^th in Free People of The Democratic Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 46.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
