The Republic of Rubiatrix is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 559 million Rubiatrixians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alimanacus. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubiatrixian economy, worth 47.8 trillion Rubiaxes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 85,589 Rubiaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubiatrix's national animal is the Feather Duster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rubiatrix is ranked 221,335^th in the world and 26^th in Global Union Consortium for Most Primitive, scoring -194.27 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
