The Democratic Junta of Racken is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Granthos The Usurper with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3 billion Rackens 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rokāna. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Racken economy, worth 566 trillion ᠪᠢ Racken Runes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 188,934 ᠪᠢ Racken Runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Racken's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Brotherhood.

Racken is ranked 305,046th in the world and 3,391st in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -426.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
