The Ravanian Colony of Awakening is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rowan II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.028 billion Awakeningians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Awakeningian economy, worth a remarkable 3,499 trillion Wakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 139,810 Wakes, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.
Tax assessment offices double as polling stations, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, and government spending has hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awakening's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Defenderism.
Awakening is ranked 4,916th in the world and 109th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 3,263.70624456 days.
