The Republic of Rubiatrix

“Building a better future”

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

The Republic of Rubiatrix is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 516 million Rubiatrixians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alimanacus. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rubiatrixian economy, worth 42.8 trillion Rubiaxes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 83,005 Rubiaxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubiatrix's national animal is the Feather Duster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rubiatrix is ranked 43,280^th in the world and 9^th in Global Union Consortium for Best Weather, with 120 Meters Of Sunlight.
