The Holy Empire of RakBibiStan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sara with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.389 billion RakBibiStanis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality and Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caesarea. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient RakBibiStanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,433 trillion Mufletas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 409,302 Mufletas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,827,483 per year while the poor average 3,761, a ratio of 1,017 to 1.

National chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, global anti-terrorist organisations strongly suspect RakBibiStan of supplying extremist groups, the legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens, and molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. RakBibiStan's national animal is the Smolani, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stabbing.

RakBibiStan is ranked 286,035^th in the world and 243^rd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -523.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
