The Republic of The Veiled Raven is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.362 billion Veiled Ravenians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Veiled Ravenian economy, worth 104 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 12,524 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and a major religion has been named as The Veiled Raven's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Veiled Raven's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Veiled Raven is ranked 159,004^th in the world and 9^th in New Dinosaurtopia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 520.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
