The Lutheran State of Rasamanaka is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gondi Flaffer with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.629 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 57.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Rasamanakan economy, worth 200 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 122,941 esks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,191 per year while the poor average 27,524, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, a government program is underway to revitalize Rasamanaka's beaches, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and public urination is on the increase. 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 276,992^nd in the world and 1,271^st in Europeia for Safest, scoring 7.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
