The Commune of Ramelia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Speaker Vouina Gelava with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.337 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 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramelic economy, worth a remarkable 3,986 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 217,399 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home. 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 3,439^th in the world and 59^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 664.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
