The Republic of Raul63 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.104 billion Raul63ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul63ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 209,481 francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul63's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Raul63 is ranked 36,399^th in the world and 861^st in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 59,073.77 Standard Monetary Units.
