The Republic of Raloon is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 1.065 billion Raloonians 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, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Raloonian economy, worth 41.9 trillion Jerms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,370 Jerms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, gambling is outlawed, Raloon has designated Raloon City as its capital city, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Raloon in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raloon's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Raloon is ranked 204,972^nd in the world and 7^th in THE REGION OF THE LOST BACTERIA for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
