The Theocratic Dictatorship of Rampires is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme God Emperor of The Multiverse with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.239 billion Rampersians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City 2314. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rampersian economy, worth 242 trillion Ramps 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an impressive 195,656 Ramps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, computers are used primarily for word processing and solitaire, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and the banhammer is a standard police sidearm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rampires's national animal is the T-Rex, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Amphetamines.

Rampires is ranked 44,915th in the world and 2nd in The Axis of Evil for Most Developed, scoring 78.52 on the Human Development Index.
