The Dictatorship of Russo-bydliya is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, feral children, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 203 million Russo-bydliyans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The powerhouse Russo-bydliyan economy, worth 18.3 trillion palets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 90,094 palets, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,959 per year while the poor average 14,679, a ratio of 25.0 to 1.

Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, and fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Russo-bydliya's national animal is the SLON, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Russo-bydliya is ranked 8,013^th in the world and 155^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,334.62 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
