The Tsardom of Rats is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tsar Rats IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.514 billion Ratsians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy city of Rats. The average income tax rate is 59.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Ratsian economy, worth 437 trillion rats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 124,551 rats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, the police double as repo men, anybody who is high on pot can't sit on a city council (Rats has found 3 easter eggs), and the military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rats's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox.
Rats is ranked 216,109th in the world and 29th in The Grand Patriot Empire of Algerheaven for Most Stationary, with 32.2262640974 days.
