The Allied States of Rudak121 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 730 million Rudak121ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Rudak121ian economy, worth 26.7 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, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 36,517 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the Rudak121 Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Rudak121's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak121's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rudak121 is ranked 78,345^th in the world and 1,191^st in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 374.7 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
