The National People's Republic of The Rostovian Confederacy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Lukhov with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.957 billion Rostovians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rostov City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rostovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,987 trillion Rostovian Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 249,884 Rostovian Crowns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,813,150 per year while the poor average 10,857, a ratio of 167 to 1.

Molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, every day at 4am Rostovians wake to pray for the sun to rise, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, and work creation schemes keep the masses occupied with meaningless tasks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Rostovian Confederacy's national animal is the steppe eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is servile obedience.

The Rostovian Confederacy is ranked 2,955^th in the world and 1^st in Kali Yuga for Most Primitive, scoring 158.08 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
