The Dictatorship of East Ravenholm is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.326 billion East Ravenholmians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Remorse. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong East Ravenholmian economy, worth 148 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,932 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, and jaywalking is punishable by public flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Ravenholm's national animal is the Headcrab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

East Ravenholm is ranked 218,580^th in the world and 8,177^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,700.91 Standard Monetary Units.
