The Republic of Raul26 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.899 billion Raul26ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul26ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,683 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,069 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul26's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Raul26 is ranked 22,930th in the world and 566th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
