The Ravanian Sword of Justice of Saint-Paul is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Saint-Paul with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate population of 3.069 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Public Transport and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Paul-in-the-field. The average income tax rate is 60%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Uranium Mining.

Immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint-Paul's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Circle of the Raven, and its currency is the Talent.

Saint-Paul is ranked 9th in Castle On The Hill and 109,801st in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 10 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
