The Empire of Rugelia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Samael Seraphis with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.584 billion Rugelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lygeria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The powerhouse Rugelian economy, worth a remarkable 7,938 trillion Krunaris a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 322,897 Krunaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rugelia's national animal is the White Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rugelia is ranked 266,699^th in the world and 1^st in Greater Rugelia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -63.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
