The Everlasting Empire of Rushalor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nox Silver with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.613 billion Rushalorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperium. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rushalorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,839 trillion Silver Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,329 Silver Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', and school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushalor's national animal is the Storm Weaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is F U M O.

Rushalor is ranked 10,331st in the world and 30th in The Black Hawks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
