The Republic of Raul12 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.978 billion Raul12ians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul12ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,111 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 common. Average income is an amazing 264,619 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and typing Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches. 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 6,605^th in the world and 353^rd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,752.84 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
