The Republic of Raul98 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.012 billion Raul98ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Raul98ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,149 trillion marks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,180 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, and Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul98's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Raul98 is ranked 22,581^st in the world and 1,617^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
