The Rat of The Holy Rat is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Abdollah with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.651 billion Lafarians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ratome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Lafarian economy, worth 487 trillion Lafari Zaids a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,521 Lafari Zaids, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 404,798 per year while the poor average 34,247, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.
Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, and chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Rat's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is De Jure Secular De Facto Ratholicism.
The Holy Rat is ranked 287,774th in the world and 5,523rd in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 5.35 Obesity Rate.
