The Republic of Raul41 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.814 billion Raul41ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul41ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,096 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 268,346 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul41's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Raul41 is ranked 12,578^th in the world and 770^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
