The Republic of RSCA248 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.574 billion RSCA248ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient RSCA248ian economy, worth 960 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,053 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, and sex changes are routinely performed at RSCA248's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA248's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RSCA248 is ranked 124,015^th in the world and 113^th in racoda for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
