The Empire of Russian Oil is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.65 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Russian Oilian economy, worth an astonishing 11,273 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 407,734 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The police double as repo men, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Bearball fields, citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russian Oil's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Russian Oil is ranked 1,692^nd in the world and 39^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
