The Republic of Raul2 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.932 billion Raul2ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Raul2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,728 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,919 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and town welcome signs list corporate sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul2's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Raul2 is ranked 26,316th in the world and 1,699th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,915.01 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
