The Protectorate of Ravirua is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 19.807 billion Raviruans 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The Raviruan economy, worth 925 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 46,733 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 301,199 per year while the poor average 2,929, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Ravirua's national animal is the raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ravirua is ranked 187,282^nd in the world and 8^th in Octobris for Largest Black Market, with 601 billion Standard Monetary Units.
