The Republic of Raekwon is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 1.757 billion Raekwonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Raekwonian economy, worth 95.2 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,194 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, commemoration of the Great DatPiff War costs almost as much as the war itself, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raekwon's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raekwon is ranked 70,340^th in the world and 7^th in DatPiff for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,743.75 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
