“You Can't Stop Progress”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Raul16 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.929 billion Raul16ians 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 Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul16ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,267 trillion lire a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 285,942 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Raul16, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul16's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul16 is ranked 115,420^th in the world and 2,750^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,261.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
