The Ruthenium of Ru is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, disturbing lack of elderly people, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.881 billion Ruans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ruan economy, worth 879 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,999 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, Elephants that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ru's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ru is ranked 41,474^th in the world and 1,898^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 62,497.16 Standard Monetary Units.
