The Sultanate of Rudak4 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.127 billion Rudak4ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Rudak4ian economy, worth 47.3 trillion marks 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, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 41,981 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and a major religion has been named as Rudak4's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak4's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rudak4 is ranked 100,093rd in the world and 2nd in Safety for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 229.57 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
