The State of Rammius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.495 billion Rammiusians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Rammiusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,738 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,974 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 141,835 per year while the poor average 13,400, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and Rammius has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Rammius's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Rammius is ranked 180,739^th in the world and 1^st in Gabon for Most Beautiful Environments, with 491.42 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
