The Republic of The Ruvia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yvonne Vločka with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate population of 1.434 billion Ruvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astilea. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ruvian economy, worth 146 trillion Ruvian Nivas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,377 Ruvian Nivas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, and there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruvia's national animal is the Golden Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anxiety.

The Ruvia is ranked 5,195^th in the world and 54^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,705.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
