The Commune of Ramelia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Speaker Vouina Gelava with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.21 billion Ramelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramelion. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramelic economy, worth a remarkable 2,632 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 199,273 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks. Crime is totally unknown. Ramelia's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phusechina.

Ramelia is ranked 290,408^th in the world and 92^nd in The Social Liberal Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.31 kickbacks per hour.
