The Self Destructive Tendencies of Ramlethal is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Ramlethal Lupercal with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.044 billion Ramlethalians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uhreik. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramlethalian economy, worth 740 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 146,783 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's skies are now a wasteland, the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms, petitions to the government are being used to insulate politicians' office walls, and all Ramlethalians love the taste of self-sufficiency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramlethal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wolf Cults.

Ramlethal is ranked 27,294th in the world and 1st in Abraxas for Highest Average Incomes, with 146,783.74 Standard Monetary Units.
