The Holy Empire of Raflantis is a mid-sized, orderly nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 79 million Raflantiano are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Raflantician economy, worth 2.60 trillion Ringals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,899 Ringals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, church and state are inseparable in their influence on education, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raflantis's national animal is the Raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Raflantis is ranked 253,607th in the world and 232nd in Eurth for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -6.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
