The Hastily Named Card Farmers of RAF1 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.93 billion RAF1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming RAF1ian economy, worth 535 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 90,361 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures, the government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, ill and injured visitors in RAF1 have to walk it off until they return home, and there are no longer any roads less traveled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RAF1's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RAF1 is ranked 83,736^th in the world and 20^th in Evergreen Battalion for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,376.41 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
