The Ravanian Sword of Justice of Saint-Paul is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Saint-Paul with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate population of 3.031 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Paul-in-the-fields. The average income tax rate is 43%, but much higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Justice of Saint-Paul's national animal is the horse, its national religion is The Circle of the Raven, and its currency is the Talent.

Justice of Saint-Paul is ranked 3rd in Castle On The Hill and 56,180th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 124 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
