The Republic of Raul15 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.872 billion Raul15ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,755 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,942 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Raul15 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul15's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul15 is ranked 20,728th in the world and 1,406th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
