The Republic of RSCA188 is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 8.897 billion RSCA188ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The frighteningly efficient RSCA188ian economy, worth 889 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 100,019 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,771 per year while the poor average 23,332, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Nobody likes bad boys any more, shops were recently ransacked as cigarettes returned to the shelves, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned stonksball fields, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to RSCA188 City to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA188's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
