The Dominating Federal Republik of Rubicon Democratic States is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Kelivi Lasputer with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.264 billion Rubiconians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rustavi. The average income tax rate is 20.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubiconian economy, worth 173 trillion Rubixons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 137,424 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rubicon Democratic States's national animal is the Mountain Blue Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mormonism.

Rubicon Democratic States is ranked 68,927^th in the world and 2^nd in The Former Rland Union for Largest Black Market, with 6.46 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
