The Republic of El Rapids is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.269 billion El Rapidsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving El Rapidsian economy, worth 469 trillion Twitch Primes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,599 Twitch Primes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,660 per year while the poor average 13,176, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. El Rapids's national animal is the Quackity, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

El Rapids is ranked 262,817^th in the world and 1^st in El Rapids for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
