The Mallard Raider of Rudak is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rudak with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 2.138 billion Rudaks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Nest. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Rudakian economy, worth 87.4 trillion native tears a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,864 native tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Carl.

Rudak is ranked 241,500^th in the world and 229^th in The Black Hawks for Highest Average Incomes, with 40,864.37 Standard Monetary Units.
