The Republic of Ravagea is a huge, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 930 million Ravageans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ravagean economy, worth 74.9 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,544 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ravagea's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ravagea is ranked 71,654^th in the world and 44^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,193.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
