The Queen's State of Ruffinator is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.285 billion Ruffinatorians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The all-consuming Ruffinatorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,654 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 54,641 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,414 per year while the poor average 11,145, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ruffinator's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ruffinator is ranked 56,304^th in the world and 1^st in The Internationale Community for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,426.23 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
