The Republic of Ramarick is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23 million Ramarickians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ramarickian economy, worth 823 billion kronor a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,801 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Leader's political rallies. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramarick's national animal is the panther.

Ramarick is ranked 204,681^st in the world and 570^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
