The Community of Ravinge is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 269 million Ravingeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ravingean economy, worth 9.19 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 34,171 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's biggest export is stupidity, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, edutainment video games are taking Ravinge's students to the next level, and sales of trenchcoats are on the rise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravinge's national animal is the rainwing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ravinge is ranked 305,855^th in the world and 4,024^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.51 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
