The United Socialist States of Rudak22 is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 4.153 billion Rudak22ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The strong Rudak22ian economy, worth 256 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,677 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes all major gold finds, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak22's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rudak22 is ranked 113,996^th in the world and 22^nd in Defender Olympics for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 746.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
