The Republic of Raul30 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.845 billion Raul30ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul30ian economy, worth 786 trillion lire a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 162,372 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul30's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Raul30 is ranked 20,931^st in the world and 768^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 302,022 Standard Monetary Units.
