The Republic of Raul40 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.804 billion Raul40ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raul40ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,961 trillion kronor a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 251,309 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul40's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Raul40 is ranked 16,349^th in the world and 410^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
