The New Minutemen of Raiders of Ragnarok is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Valerie Adair with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 19.504 billion Minutemen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Concord. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Minuteman economy, worth a remarkable 1,923 trillion Caps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,617 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, Valerie Adair has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and Valerie Adair is the self-declared God of all Raiders of Ragnarok. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raiders of Ragnarok's national animal is the Dogmeat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Valerie.

Raiders of Ragnarok is ranked 11,947^th in the world and 4^th in The Fallout Wasteland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,833.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
