The Empire of Raviolian States is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.824 billion Raviolian Statesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Raviolian Statesian economy, worth 32.4 trillion Raviolis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 17,786 Raviolis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raviolian States's national animal is the Flying Ravioli, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Raviolian States is ranked 50,397^th in the world and 1^st in Yellow Empire for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,668.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
