The Republic of Raul15 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.767 billion Raul15ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Raul15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,660 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,728 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field.

Raul15's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
