The People's Republic of The East Lebatuck is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Joseph Rushev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.884 billion East Lebatuckians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rushevgrad. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving East Lebatuckian economy, worth 347 trillion East Lebatuckese rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 89,464 East Lebatuckese rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criticism of Joseph Rushev is considered unpatriotic, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The East Lebatuck's national animal is the Pallas's cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The East Lebatuck is ranked 127,687^th in the world and 4,567^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 3.88 billion capita.
