The Free City of Rapture Republic is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.988 billion Rapturians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.7%.

The strong Rapturian economy, worth 172 trillion ADAMS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,651 ADAMS, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rapture Republic's national animal is the Sea Dragon.

Rapture Republic is ranked 218,227^th in the world and 10^th in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 75.13 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
