The Empire of Magnus Rubrum is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 651 million Rubrumians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rubrimia. The average income tax rate is 56.6%.

The strong Rubrumian economy, worth 40.1 trillion Rubrumis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,593 Rubrumis, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

A shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, high school bands practice by moonlight, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magnus Rubrum's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Magnus Rubrum is ranked 47,473^rd in the world and 547^th in the South Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 32.39 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
