“Pride and Industry”

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

The Republic of Raul65 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.035 billion Raul65ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul65ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,314 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 217,846 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul65's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul65 is ranked 16,913^th in the world and 1,116^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
