The Iunan Confederacy of Raurica is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 536 million Rauricans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helvetia. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The very strong Raurican economy, worth 27.3 trillion Florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,983 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, Raurica has designated Helvetia as its capital city, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raurica's national animal is the Alpine Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Raurica is ranked 248,903^rd in the world and 99^th in RGBN for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
