The People's Trotskist Republic of Rakipuland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rakipu with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 40.502 billion Rakipulandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rakipuland City. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.
The powerhouse Rakipulandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,231 trillion Leon Trotski Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,844 Leon Trotski Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Rakipuland has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rakipuland's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rakipuland is ranked 23,344th in the world and 3rd in France for Nicest Citizens, with 20.98 average smiles per day.
