The Republic of Rasmeisci is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10 million Rasmeiscians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.
The powerhouse Rasmeiscian economy, worth 858 billion Tambins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 85,868 Tambins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,441 per year while the poor average 13,487, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.
Both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rasmeisci's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Rasmeisci is ranked 246,592nd in the world and 77th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 82.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
