The Republic of Rachycentron canadum is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.391 billion Rachycentron canadumians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.8%.

The Rachycentron canadumian economy, worth 110 trillion lire a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,230 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,158 per year while the poor average 10,222, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights, a major religion has been named as Rachycentron canadum's national religion, the Treasury Minister's valet handles the crass business of public money, and the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rachycentron canadum's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
