The DEMOREP of RUDRABHA REPUBLIC is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 1.045 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RUDRABHA City. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, new urban roads are threatening city parks, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RUDRABHA REPUBLIC's national animal is the TIGER, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the COIN.

RUDRABHA REPUBLIC is ranked 30th in International Confederation and 83,558th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
