The Ancint Dominion of The Rakata Empire is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Skalnas with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.613 billion Rakatan are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Lhon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.0%.

The thriving Rakatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion Crashd Spacships a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,927 Crashd Spacships, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government provides its citizenry with the same mass produced rations, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rakata Empire's national animal is the Rancor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Th Dark Sid of th Forc.

The Rakata Empire is ranked 278,746^th in the world and 9^th in Korriban Tombs for Most Primitive, scoring -321.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
