The Commune of Ramelia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Speaker Vouina Gelava with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.434 billion Ramelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramelion. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramelic economy, worth a remarkable 4,036 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,966 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign despots proudly bandstand on Ramelic airwaves, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed. Crime is totally unknown. Ramelia's national animal is the rufous hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phusechina.

Ramelia is ranked 875^th in the world and 19^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 145.03 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
