The United Districts of Ramstad is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vicky Ward with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.022 billion Ramstadians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaithersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Ramstadian economy, worth 764 trillion Royal Peacocks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 152,230 Royal Peacocks, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Ramstad, the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramstad's national animal is the peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Ramstad is ranked 14,530th in the world and 804th in Osiris for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 341,370 Standard Monetary Units.
