The Federal Lib - Dem Diarchy of Ravencliff is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by PM Dimitri Wagner and Louis V and Sophie with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 2.782 billion Ravencliffians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heavenscrash and Brittany and Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ravenclife economy, worth 152 trillion Ravencliffian Pound Sterling and Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 54,782 Ravencliffian Pound Sterling and Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

PM Dimitri Wagner and Louis V and Sophie has just been declared ruler of Ravencliff in an international press conference, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and PM Dimitri Wagner and Louis V and Sophie is the self-declared God of all Ravencliff. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ravencliff's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Secularism.

Ravencliff is ranked 22,809^th in the world and 48^th in Federation Of Sovereign States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,910.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
