The Dictatorship of RAGARSHANIATH is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 14 million RAGARSHANIATHians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The thriving RAGARSHANIATHian economy, worth 1.04 trillion RAGARANITESES a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 74,488 RAGARANITESES, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, and government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RAGARSHANIATH's national animal is the LION, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

RAGARSHANIATH is ranked 127,307^th in the world and 95^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,573.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
