The Community of Rudak29 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 936 million Rudak29ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.5%.

The Rudak29ian economy, worth 36.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,428 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak29's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rudak29 is ranked 138,447^th in the world and 3^rd in Land of Knives for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 705.27 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
