The Golden Island Republics of Rust Islands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ku'Low with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.326 billion Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rostig Stag. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Rustic economy, worth 383 trillion Stora Pengars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,552 Stora Pengars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Rust Islands to be bombproof, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, private law firms are unheard of, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rust Islands's national animal is the Tri-Color Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rust Islands is ranked 329,302^nd in the world and 11^th in OrangeJuice for Most Patriotic, with 0.57 flags saluted per person per day.
