The Federation of Ralhout is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning leopard population. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 5 million Ralhoutians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.1%.

The Ralhoutian economy, worth 227 billion kronor a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,478 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, farting etiquette is taught in schools, and there are no minimum wage laws. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ralhout's national animal is the leopard.

Ralhout is ranked 207,874^th in the world and 1,531^st in the West Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,162.02 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
