The Federation of USS Raven is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Prahl The 16th with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.452 billion USS Ravenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of prhalatopa. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming USS Ravenian economy, worth 574 trillion Crows a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,424 Crows, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. USS Raven's national animal is the Narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

USS Raven is ranked 51,340^th in the world and 1^st in Prahltopia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,824.71 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
