The Self Destructive Tendencies of Ramlethal is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Ramlethal Lupercal with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.155 billion Ramlethalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uhreik. The average income tax rate is 80.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramlethalian economy, worth 801 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,573 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Catching the latest tribal tournament is to die for, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, theories that hold water are considered to have failed, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramlethal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wolf Cults.

Ramlethal is ranked 32,563rd in the world and 2nd in Abraxas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,569.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
