The United States of Rudak5 is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.066 billion Rudak5ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.2%.

The strong Rudak5ian economy, worth 251 trillion francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,558 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rudak5's national animal is the parrot.

Rudak5 is ranked 269,337^th in the world and 47^th in The Crimson Empire for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 38.06 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
