The State of Raffaele is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.154 billion Raffaeleans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Raffaelean economy, worth a remarkable 1,129 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 35,116 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 104,413 per year while the poor average 9,259, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Raffaele has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Raffaele in an international press conference. Crime is a problem. Raffaele's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Raffaele is ranked 47,216th in the world and 5th in United Arab Emirates for Most Stationary, with 930.42611980468 days.
