The Ever Loving of The Holy Rat is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by al-Ratsair with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.912 billion Rats are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Rattican. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ratish economy, worth a remarkable 1,360 trillion Chinese Yuan a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,707 Chinese Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and political debates are all but a distant memory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Rat's national animal is the Rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ratholicism Divine Order.

The Holy Rat is ranked 31,808^th in the world and 38^th in Corsair for Highest Poor Incomes, with 72,934.88 Standard Monetary Units.
