The Democratic Republic of Rakis goverscans is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.748 billion Rakis goverscansians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.
The powerhouse Rakis goverscansian economy, worth 567 trillion dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 84,038 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 470,083 per year while the poor average 7,470, a ratio of 62.9 to 1.
The nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rakis goverscans's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Rakis goverscans is ranked 46,568th in the world and 1,127th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Corrupt Governments, with 44.26 kickbacks per hour.
