The Republic of Raul40 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.707 billion Raul40ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raul40ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,437 trillion kronor a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 316,229 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul40's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Raul40 is ranked 112,603rd in the world and 2,200th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 354.04344007872 days.
