The Lutheran State of Rasamanaka is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Gondi Flaffer with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.712 billion Rasamanakans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kangadore. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Rasamanakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion esks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,025 esks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, and the latest superhero movie features a caped Maroon Bear with adamantium claws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rasamanaka's national animal is the Maroon Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Rasamanaka is ranked 25,899^th in the world and 123^rd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,753.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
