The Colony of Ramsar is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.917 billion Ramsarians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The strong Ramsarian economy, worth 336 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,681 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,580 per year while the poor average 3,003, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ramsar's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ramsar is ranked 145,368^th in the world and 1^st in Gotland for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,521.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
