The Empire of Raskiay is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 36 million Raskiayians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Raskiayian economy, worth 1.40 trillion Rudloes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,012 Rudloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Aspiring pilots must be personally vetted by the Minister of Transportation before receiving their license, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, genetic researchers have been expelled, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raskiay's national animal is the brown bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Raskiay is ranked 97,998^th in the world and 23^rd in The Invaders for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,059.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
