The Republic of Red Dusk III is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 24.592 billion Red Dusk IIIians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Red Dusk IIIian economy, worth 298 trillion Quantums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 12,123 Quantums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Dusk III's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Red Dusk III is ranked 146,930^th in the world and 1^st in Nihonto for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 440.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
