The Extremely Peaceful Land of Rutharus Majorium is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Fibelus Greyhammer with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.514 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grigius Velorious. The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Military funding has been stripped back, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rutharus Majorium's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ruth.

Rutharus Majorium is ranked 7th in Region Inc and 2,980th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 138 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
