The Grand Protectorate of Raskana is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Andress Marick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.788 billion Raskanens 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ederhaven. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Raskanen economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion Raskanen Shackles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,336 Raskanen Shackles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, children cry as government officials steal their water pistols, clergy do their best to cover up their old tattoos, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raskana's national animal is the Raskanan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Raskanen Orthodoxy.

Raskana is ranked 300,866^th in the world and 694^th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 7.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
