The Holy Empire of RakBibiStan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sara with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.318 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, although Spirituality and Industry are also considered important, while Education and Environment receive no funds. 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 3,383 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 406,722 Mufletas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,803,359 per year while the poor average 3,737, a ratio of 1,017 to 1.

The booming slave trade is now government-funded, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, and there's a mortuary next to every RakBibiStanian restaurant. 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 400^th in the world and 4^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,306.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
