The Holy Empire of Raflantis is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 18 million Raflantiano 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Raflantician economy, worth 507 billion Ringals a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,214 Ringals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, all funding starts one dime at a time, the Raflantician delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raflantis's national animal is the Raven.

Raflantis is ranked 86,601st in the world and 44th in Eurth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,109.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
