The Armed Republic of Ruhr K is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 336 million Kians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalzburg. The average income tax rate is 45.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruhr Kian economy, worth 36.1 trillion Ruhrians a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,347 Ruhrians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Feeling like a winner comes at a price, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables.

Ruhr K's national animal is the Humble Bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ruhr K is ranked 103,598^th in the world and 3^rd in Stalzburg Sparta for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,257.92 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
