The Rogue Nation of Rapotoria is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 14 million Rapots are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Rapotorian economy, worth 233 billion Rapotorian Coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. 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 16,614 Rapotorian Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and it is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon. Crime is totally unknown. Rapotoria's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rapotoria is ranked 47,108^th in the world and 7^th in Kellick Isles for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.87 percentage of bribes refused.
