The Federal Republic of Ruhar is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 3.969 billion Ruharians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Getanu. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ruharian economy, worth 116 trillion nutrient mushes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,368 nutrient mushes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, Ruhar recently decided against having a capital city, and prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present. Crime is well under control. Ruhar's national animal is the Dobreh, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ruhar is ranked 232,779^th in the world and 11^th in Hyrule for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -7.75 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
