The Once and future thing-Al of Ratateague is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.804 billion Ratatekkers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holtmímir. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Ratatasque economy, worth an astonishing 13,842 trillion ʝarls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 449,367 ʝarls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime is totally unknown. Ratateague's national animal is the flying squirrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ratateague is ranked 16,602nd in the world and 8th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,213.3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
