The Holy Violet Matriarchy of Racoda is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed population of 8.185 billion Racodans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Racoda City. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Racodan economy, worth 481 trillion cookies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 58,769 cookies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, the army's trophy cabinets have gone all-organic, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Racoda's national animal is the ant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Racoda is ranked 137,981^st in the world and 6,772^nd in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 51.75 Years.
