The United Socialist States of Republic of Rusana is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Commisar Archon Exile with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.757 billion Rusanas 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grande Ralin. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Republic of Rusanan economy, worth 89.8 trillion Runins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,089 Runins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, some members of Parliament are illiterate, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Rusana's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Republic of Rusana is ranked 31,027^th in the world and 725^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 18.96 average smiles per day.
