The Rectory of Rapa-Rapa is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.033 billion Rapa-Rapans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.
The thriving Rapa-Rapan economy, worth 130 trillion Rectorial Talers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,208 Rectorial Talers, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
Taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Rapa-Rapa, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rapa-Rapa's national animal is the Rectorial Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rapa-Rapa is ranked 306,252nd in the world and 10th in Urcean Rectories for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
