The 🌸✨️ Sparkling Dynasty ✨️🌸 of Rats is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Velvette with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.977 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rattica. The average income tax rate is 60.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ratsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,463 trillion rats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,054 rats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists take credit every time it rains in Voreia Aravia, the Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment. 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 Marsh Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ratholicism Divine Order.

Rats is ranked 315,559^th in the world and 13^th in Voreia Aravia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 47.43 percentage of bribes refused.
