The Democratic Junta of Racken is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Granthos The Usurper with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.928 billion Rackens 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rokana. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Racken economy, worth 222 trillion Racken Runes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,558 Racken Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Racken Liberator", foreign envoys that want to visit Racken now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones, and nations across the world are quick to praise Granthos The Usurper's good looks and intellectual prowess. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Racken's national animal is the Kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Rolerni Doctrine.

Racken is ranked 138,850^th in the world and 2,486^th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 64.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
