The Republic of Raul10 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.847 billion Raul10ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 65.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul10ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,755 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,779 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul10's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul10 is ranked 12,798^th in the world and 878^th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 77,427.54 Standard Monetary Units.
