The Parliamentary Republic of Republicada is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lucas Finnegan with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 3.805 billion Ravencians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravencia. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ravencian economy, worth 517 trillion Nordmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,905 Nordmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness', and ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republicada's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Republicada is ranked 302,290^th in the world and 4,291^st in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.98 average smiles per day.
