The Commune of Ramelia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Speaker Vouina Gelava with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.536 billion Ramelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramelion. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramelic economy, worth a remarkable 4,088 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,553 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the diplomatic corps stinks, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, and tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments. Crime is totally unknown. Ramelia's national animal is the rufous hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phusechina.

Ramelia is ranked 945^th in the world and 24^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 92.51 average smiles per day.
