The Constitutional Monarchy of Rutheria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Louisiana D'Aubigny Rutheria with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.481 billion Rutherians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of October. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The powerhouse Rutherian economy, worth 301 trillion Donoes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,659 Donoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,137 per year while the poor average 13,844, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Rutherians like vultures, anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is punished, conspiracy theorists allege October's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rutheria's national animal is the Dorovo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jakaraikyo.

Rutheria is ranked 266,429^th in the world and 6^th in Sunny Rocks for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 26.54 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
