The Republic of Raul94 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.981 billion Raul94ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul94ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,632 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The entire entry for Raul94 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, the government is flooded with compensation requests, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul94's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul94 is ranked 112,504th in the world and 2,006th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.6325160906 days.
