The Queen's State of Ragice is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed population of 35.211 billion Ragiceans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ragicean economy, worth a remarkable 1,217 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,574 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, child labor has been outlawed, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ragice's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ragice is ranked 36,095^th in the world and 234^th in State for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.97 percentage of bribes refused.
