The People's Socialist Republic of Rabotev is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Premier Kuzma Morozov with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.679 billion Rabotevites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kuybyshev. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The strong Rabotevian economy, worth 738 trillion yengs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,240 yengs, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rabotev's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Korvinism.

Rabotev is ranked 149,479^th in the world and 1^st in Edmonton for Largest Governments, scoring 12 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
