The Wolflandil's Furled Finger of Raftali is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 3.564 billion Raftalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Raftalian economy, worth 151 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,579 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires, and the government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raftali's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raftali is ranked 149,197th in the world and 3,172nd in Artificial Solar System for Most Primitive, scoring -53.59 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
