Raul9

Population7.939 billion

The Republic of Raul9 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.939 billion Raul9ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul9ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,948 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,384 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The elderly are killed softly with a song, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Raul9 but at least the trains run on time, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and high food prices have reduced the national diet to staple foods and water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul9's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul9 is ranked 280,408th in the world and 10,623rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.77 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
