The Republic of RSCA17 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 9.007 billion RSCA17ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient RSCA17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,095 trillion cards a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,576 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA17's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RSCA17 is ranked 160,473^rd in the world and 215^th in racoda for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,295.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
