The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.008 billion Rubans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warschau. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 4,005 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 222,450 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, students do more community service than homework, universities spend millions removing ivy from their walls to avoid accusations of elitism, and the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruby Ranch Republic's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Ruby Ranch Republic is ranked 273,428^th in the world and 123^rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
