The Holy Empire of Raflantis is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 26 million Raflantiano are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The developing Raflantician economy, worth 779 billion Ringals a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,982 Ringals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dartboard at the Raflantician Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, the justice of Raflantis is considered superior to that of other nations, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raflantis's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Raflantis is ranked 204,648th in the world and 148th in Eurth for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 53.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
