The Empire of Rostatskaya is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Император Константин I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.533 billion Rostatskayans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Бадиевск. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rostatskayan economy, worth 387 trillion Imperial rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,652 Imperial rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, it's never "just a game" with Rostatskayan sports fans, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rostatskaya's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wings of the Virgin of Tears.

Rostatskaya is ranked 16,314^th in the world and 387^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,240.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
