The Grand Protectorate of Raskana is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by President Andress Marick with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.585 billion Raskanens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ederhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Raskanen economy, worth a remarkable 2,861 trillion Raskanen Shackles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 298,584 Raskanen Shackles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 990,511 per year while the poor average 67,177, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, third world countries are rich in "I Love Ederhaven" t-shirts, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, 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, and its national religion is Raskanen Orthodoxy.

Raskana is ranked 310,943^rd in the world and 386^th in 10000 Islands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -15.81 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
