The Commonwealth of Rafellos is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 187 million Rafellosians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Rafellosian economy, worth 12.2 trillion Pingoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,431 Pingoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Rafellosian flag can be displayed, and no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rafellos's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rafellos is ranked 107,850^th in the world and 5,845^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,087.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
