The Republic of Raul49 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.809 billion Raul49ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul49ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,833 trillion francs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,827 francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Raul49's pristine beaches, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, and in pet stores nationwide emus are growing in popularity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul49's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul49 is ranked 257,541^st in the world and 6,309^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -178.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
