The Commune of Ramelia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Speaker Vouina Gelava with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.493 billion Ramelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramelion. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramelic economy, worth a remarkable 4,079 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,575 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, torture is illegal, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime is totally unknown. Ramelia's national animal is the rufous hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phusechina.

Ramelia is ranked 290,815^th in the world and 2,085^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.45 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
