The Dictatorship of Ratinho is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Carlos Roberto Massa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.743 billion Ratinhoans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volvagia City. The average income tax rate is 51.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Ratinhoan economy, worth 578 trillion Gold Bobinas 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, 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 an impressive 121,998 Gold Bobinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Prison is a nightmare, Carlos Roberto Massa is called 'Patches' at international summits, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ratinho's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bobinism.
Ratinho is ranked 54,924th in the world and 3rd in Island of Bobinas United for Most Stationary, with 800.35572388312 days.
