The Community of Ravinge is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 328 million Ravingeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ravingean economy, worth 13.8 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 42,181 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravinge's national animal is the rainwing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ravinge is ranked 207,192^nd in the world and 2,674^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
