The Republic of RSCA is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and public floggings. The hard-working population of 8.947 billion RSCAians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient RSCAian economy, worth 874 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,783 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RSCA is ranked 131,649^th in the world and 1^st in RSCA for Most Corrupt Governments, with 5.51 kickbacks per hour.
