The Khanate of Rusticus Damianus is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Philosopher King with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.635 billion Raxulans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panticapaeum. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Raxulan economy, worth 340 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,457 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

High-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, male tourists tend to be fearful of Rusticus Damianus's deadly femme fatales, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and teachers label difficult children as "somebody else's problem" before expelling them. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Rusticus Damianus's national animal is the Akhal-Teke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianitas.

Rusticus Damianus is ranked 101,566^th in the world and 8^th in Raxulan Empire for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 43,226.8 Standard Monetary Units.
