The United Socialist States of Rudak43 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 939 million Rudak43ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The Rudak43ian economy, worth 47.2 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,280 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak43's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rudak43 is ranked 140,526^th in the world and 2,704^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 702.55 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
