The Mighty Union of Rasutafia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Sarskia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.474 billion Rasutafians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tatsuna. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rasutafian economy, worth a remarkable 7,041 trillion Doosableas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 381,146 Doosableas, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and sick Rasutafians are hair today and gone tomorrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rasutafia's national animal is the Zebra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Talranity.

Rasutafia is ranked 254,805th in the world and 57th in Lone Wolves United for Longest Average Lifespans, with 63.22 years.
