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

The Dominion of Ravenaire is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 790 million Ravenaireans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palamecia. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ravenairean economy, worth 89.0 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,667 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, diminutive Ravenairean generals are feared for their aggressiveness, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravenaire's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ravenaire is ranked 131,220^th in the world and 164^th in Bozarkia for Most Authoritarian, with 796.27 milliStalins.
