The Most Serene Federal Republic of Rastrania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Great Khan with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 9.72 billion Rastranians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argentus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The all-consuming Rastranian economy, worth a remarkable 1,778 trillion Rikors a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 182,994 Rikors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rastrania's national animal is the Harpy eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nationalism.

Rastrania is ranked 610^th in the world and 31^st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 187.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
