The Rat-Infested Hell Hole of Ratfrika is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Cheese Bloodgrinder with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.314 billion Ratfrikans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ratfrikan economy, worth 217 trillion krugerrats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 165,553 krugerrats, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,163,394 per year while the poor average 8,016, a ratio of 145 to 1.

Tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Cheese Bloodgrinder, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and the country is littered with broken homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ratfrika's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ratfrika is ranked 285,654^th in the world and 50^th in The Local Cluster for Safest, scoring 2.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
