The Republic of Raekwon is a massive, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and public floggings. The democratic, devout population of 1.249 billion Raekwonians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Raekwonian economy, worth 67.8 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,247 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, and foxes with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Raekwon's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raekwon is ranked 109,374^th in the world and 9^th in DatPiff for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 216.54 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
