The Riparian Procyonid Republic of Raccoon Creek is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.095 billion Raccoon Creekers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raccoon Creeker economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,369 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The well-to-do in Raccoon Country are never on time for important appointments, public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raccoon Creek's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Raccoon Creek is ranked 15,781^st in the world and 1^st in Raccoon Country for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
