The Democratic Republic of Ralminster is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 1.369 billion Ralminsterians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ralminsterian economy, worth 106 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 77,883 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and posing for pictures is an integral part of military training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ralminster's national animal is the Wren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ralminster is ranked 6,600^th in the world and 4^th in Dystopian Utopia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 93.78 Effective Tax Rate.
