“God is emperor, the emperor is God”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 16.209 billion Rubians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubian Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 6,418 trillion Angelos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 395,972 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubian Empire's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Rubian Empire is ranked 6,432^nd in the world and 143^rd in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 127.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
