The Oppressed Peoples of Akash Russalo Singh is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 461 million Russalonians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dunkin Donuts. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Russalonian economy, worth 33.7 trillion pages of homework 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 73,102 pages of homework, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness, jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, the nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Akash Russalo Singh's national animal is the fruit cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Akash Russalo Singh is ranked 251,957^th in the world and 100^th in Spiritus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.35 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
