The Empire of Russian Oil is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.277 billion Russian Oilians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Russian Oilian economy, worth an astonishing 10,961 trillion Roubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 374,403 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Russian Oil's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Russian Oil is ranked 1,364^th in the world and 29^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 154.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
