The Queen's State of Rufus Crazy is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 30.75 billion Rufus Crazyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Rufus Crazyian economy, worth 212 trillion betales 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 6,911 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rufus Crazy's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rufus Crazy is ranked 5,729^th in the world and 1^st in Pearl City for Largest Populations, with 30.8 billion capita.
