The Armed Republic of Rcus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Captain Altantsetseg Struna with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.299 billion Rcusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chiel. The average income tax rate is 90.6%.

The all-consuming Rcusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,633 trillion Lcols a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 89,276 Lcols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The hip spot of the season is just over that way, diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rcus's national animal is the firefly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Rcus is ranked 164,254^th in the world and 2^nd in Canterbury for Most Primitive, scoring -62.14 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
