The Principality of Ramlethal is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 832 million Ramlethalians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ramlethalian economy, worth 67.5 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,122 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government invades its allies more than its enemies, the fattest folk in Ramlethal look to be the happiest ones, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramlethal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ramlethal is ranked 33,797^th in the world and 39^th in Lone Wolves United for Safest, scoring 107.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
