The Republic of Rasene is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed population of 732 million Raseneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Era. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rasenean economy, worth 82.2 trillion Orakas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 112,288 Orakas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, international tensions are high as Rasene threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and the real art was the AI friends we made along the way. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rasene's national animal is the Kirana, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rasene is ranked 46,586^th in the world and 108^th in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 78.35 on the Human Development Index.
