The Self Destructive Tendencies of Ramlethal is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Ramlethal Lupercal with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, pith helmet sales, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.028 billion Ramlethalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uhreik. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ramlethalian economy, worth 765 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 152,185 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, celebrity chefs are thought to be the progenitors of all food, in-cite-ment never happens at tea parties, and no one knows how to tie a reef knot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramlethal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wolf Cults.

Ramlethal is ranked 253,001^st in the world and 12^th in Abraxas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
