The Republic of Raul71 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.923 billion Raul71ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raul71ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,330 trillion deniers 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, Uranium Mining, 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 an amazing 224,677 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", military spending is on the increase, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raul71's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raul71 is ranked 112,492nd in the world and 2,001st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 354.63496747792 days.
