The Neighbourhood of Ramsay Street is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mrs Mangel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.321 billion Neighbours 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Number 32. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ramsay Streetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,321 trillion Australian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,465 Australian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political radicals send their Australian Dollars to degree mills for a chance to serve in Parliament, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramsay Street's national animal is the Bouncer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Erinsborough Parish Church.
Ramsay Street is ranked 92,734th in the world and 37th in The Card Mine for Most Stationary, with 495.80758546072 days.
