The Gothic Dominion of Ravajol is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mastercomputer with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 1.671 billion Ravajoli are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalar. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ravajolian economy, worth 248 trillion Doles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,854 Doles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, Ravajolian diplomacy is by the book, fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds, and the best defense is a good fence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravajol's national animal is the Non-Sapient, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wicca.

Ravajol is ranked 14,547^th in the world and 209^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,378.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
