The Protectorate of Raskana is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 472 million Raskanens are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ederhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The all-consuming Raskanen economy, worth 45.0 trillion Raskanen Shackles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 95,261 Raskanen Shackles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 456,846 per year while the poor average 11,611, a ratio of 39.3 to 1.

It is said that a Raskanen woman's work is never done, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raskana's national animal is the Raskanan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Raskana is ranked 74,957^th in the world and 815^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,163.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
