The Lutheran State of Rasamanaka is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gondi Flaffer with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.634 billion Rasamanakans 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, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kangadore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Rasamanakan economy, worth 202 trillion esks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,825 esks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 412,135 per year while the poor average 27,722, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Europeia, Rasamanaka's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rasamanaka's national animal is the Maroon Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Rasamanaka is ranked 13,516^th in the world and 36^th in Europeia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 129.74 kickbacks per hour.
