The Nomadic Peoples of Ramas is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dante Cole with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 3.423 billion Ramasians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Huntingdon City. The average income tax rate is 17.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ramasian economy, worth 135 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,717 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, Ramas has designated New Huntingdon City as its capital city, and Dante Cole has just been declared ruler of Ramas in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent. Ramas's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ramas is ranked 178,067^th in the world and 2^nd in N o for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.95 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
