The Althing of Ratateague is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.356 billion Ratatekkers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holtmímir. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ratatasque economy, worth a remarkable 4,501 trillion labor credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 313,553 labor credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime is totally unknown. Ratateague's national animal is the flying squirrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ratateague is ranked 556^th in the world and 1^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Devout, with 11,462.7 Prayers Per Hour.
