The Republic of Raul12 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.792 billion Raul12ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul12ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,033 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 260,952 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul12's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul12 is ranked 112,460th in the world and 1,878th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 354.64368275012 days.
