The Restored Empire of Rakavo is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Somme Akartordika Pavonni with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.945 billion Rakavoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orsimme. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rakavoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,514 trillion kaibs 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, Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 229,728 kaibs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, and janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rakavo's national animal is the garden warbler, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kakinida Apsaeppa.

Rakavo is ranked 252,485^th in the world and 10,910^th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
