The Republic of Ramiru is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by David Lee Gotham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.495 billion Ramiruns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramirun City. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ramirun economy, worth a remarkable 1,897 trillion Ramirun Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,376 Ramirun Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Cloud nine refers to the top floor of skyscrapers, the poorest Ramiruns live in 'the stacks', gay couples who hold hands are forced into unbreakable bonds, and the government's energy policy of refugee 'refuelment' is a well-oiled machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramiru's national animal is the Ramirun Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Ramiru is ranked 15,508^th in the world and 804^th in Osiris for Most Secular, with 74.83 Atheism Rate.
