The Republic of Ralphburg is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ralph J Russell with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.294 billion Ralphburgers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ralphburg. The average income tax rate is 15.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ralphburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,523 trillion Dogecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 271,531 Dogecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
It's illegal to be caught on tape, the nation is now proudly cholera-free, home renovation projects take decades to complete, and sales of trenchcoats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ralphburg's national animal is the big smoldog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ralphburg is ranked 162,047th in the world and 3,055th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 454.76 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
