Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Grunts of RalphNader23 is a gargantuan, devout nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.821 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RalphNader23 City. Income tax is unheard of. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

The CEO of Laws Incorporated must sign off on all new bills, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is pervasive. RalphNader23's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the gold piece.

RalphNader23 is ranked 2,999th in Osiris and 129,715th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -11 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
