The Republic of RSCA173 is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.892 billion RSCA173ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.6%.

The frighteningly efficient RSCA173ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 127,173 cards, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 730,921 per year while the poor average 10,629, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the nation has been declared a nuclear-free zone, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA173's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RSCA173 is ranked 21,745^th in the world and 65^th in racoda for Highest Food Quality, scoring 111.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
