The Republic of Raktus is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 6.224 billion Raktusians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.
The thriving Raktusian economy, worth 380 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,084 rubledollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,566 per year while the poor average 13,067, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem. Raktus's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Raktus is ranked 234,601st in the world and 2,387th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 133.64 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
