“Dread Lady Nathicana”

The GORAM MOD of IL Ruffino is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.184 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philadelphia. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', GORAM is one of the most popular forenames in IL Ruffino, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IL Ruffino's national animal is the GORAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the GORAM.

IL Ruffino is ranked 5th in the region and 11,895th in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
