The Empire Kingdom Domain of Ramian is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ramy Sase with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.839 billion Ramianians 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, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maharlikans Ophir. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ramianian economy, worth 310 trillion Ramcies 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 169,013 Ramcies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 584,844 per year while the poor average 35,689, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

The government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, foreign envoys that want to visit Ramian now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Ramian's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ramian's national animal is the Lion and Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Godfather Ramy Sase.

Ramian is ranked 108,709th in the world and 2,578th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,483.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
