The Rewilding of Ruinenlust is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rex Silvae with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.644 billion Rūins live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Δενδρωπολις. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rūined economy, worth a remarkable 3,848 trillion Runes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 231,223 Runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Δενδρωπολις" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ruinenlust's national animal is the Sciurus carolinensis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ruinenlust is ranked 1,953rd in the world and 34th in Forest for Most Cultured, scoring 268 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
