The Mana Source of Mox Ruby is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrRuby with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.673 billion Mox Rubyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RubyCity. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Mox Rubyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,865 trillion manas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 148,920 manas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military lends out its new fighter jets as easily as a good neighbor lending out his garden tools, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, a driving license is obtained not by passing a test but by passing a brown envelope, and MrRuby's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mox Ruby's national animal is the manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.
Mox Ruby is ranked 88,187th in the world and 93rd in Nederland for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 175,710 Standard Monetary Units.
