The Republic of Raul8 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.86 billion Raul8ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raul8ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,123 trillion baht a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 270,105 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, and Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul8's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Raul8 is ranked 7,209th in the world and 442nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
