The Republic of Raul66 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.158 billion Raul66ians 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, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raul66ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,613 trillion kronor 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 261,960 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, serial killers are the country's biggest import, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul66's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Raul66 is ranked 239,768th in the world and 5,911th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -125.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
