The Republic of Raul7 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avowedly heterosexual populace, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.826 billion Raul7ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Raul7ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,401 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 306,849 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, Raul7 City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul7's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Raul7 is ranked 112,455th in the world and 1,980th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.6442869164 days.
