The Free Advertising Space of Ruritania is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 12.161 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The minute, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 10%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruritania's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sovereign.
Ruritania is ranked 4th in the region and 21,413th in the world for Nudest.
