The People's Democratic Republic of Rayakavkaz is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Mikhail Barkovskyy with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.945 billion Avarat 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kripkiyyat. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avarat economy, worth 824 trillion Krots a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,756 Krots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, centuries-old legal documents detailing agnatic-cognatic gavelkind succession are being dusted off again, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rayakavkaz's national animal is the Brown Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Rayakavkaz is ranked 48,454^th in the world and 499^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
