The United Labor Guilds of Ratha-nul is a massive, safe nation, ruled by First-Among-Equals Qyva Naq-le with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.279 billion Qvis-rath love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veka-qej City. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Qvyc-rath economy, worth 91.8 trillion Pathus 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 71,784 Pathus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ratha-nul's national animal is the Nal-una, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ratha-nul is ranked 72,261^st in the world and 137^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 69.81 on the Human Development Index.
