The Republic of Ralphburg is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ralph J Russell with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.06 billion Ralphburgers 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ralphburg. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ralphburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,458 trillion Dogecoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 271,315 Dogecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

One can wake up in Ralphburg and have breakfast in Bigtopia, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ralphburg's national animal is the big smoldog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ralphburg is ranked 16,357th in the world and 420th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
