The Free Land of Rubeck is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by don benedetto with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.711 billion Rubeckians 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of altavista. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubeckian economy, worth 218 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,899 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, the government's approval ratings go down while its turnover rate goes up, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is almost non-existent. Rubeck's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is taoism.

Rubeck is ranked 69,456^th in the world and 41^st in Flanelistan for Most Secular, with 18.78 Atheism Rate.
