The Empire of Raviland is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Joris Bohnson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 916 million Ravinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manhattan. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ravilandian economy, worth 83.7 trillion Ravins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 91,378 Ravins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Joris Bohnson's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Raviland's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Raviland is ranked 53,573^rd in the world and 1,456^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,138.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
