The Parliamentary Republic of Republicada is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lucas Finnegan with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.744 billion Ravencians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravencia. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ravencian economy, worth 495 trillion Nordmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,410 Nordmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

All the cool kids have tetanus, gambling addicts regularly lose their families' nest eggs at Native Ravencian casinos, masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Lucas Finnegan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republicada's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Republicada is ranked 22,747^th in the world and 657^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,103.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
