The Grand Protectorate of Raskana is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Andress Marick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.499 billion Raskanens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ederhaven. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Raskanen economy, worth 976 trillion Raskanen Shackles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 217,116 Raskanen Shackles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, rare steaks seem even bluer now, there's a bustling black market for vegetables, and drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raskana's national animal is the Raskanan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Raskanen Orthodoxy.

Raskana is ranked 287,145^th in the world and 840^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.26 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
