The Green Rust of Rustbodia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Iron Man with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 17.948 billion Rustbodians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ironia. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rustbodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,396 trillion iron pieces a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,789 iron pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The comic book series 'Iron Man and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, safe drinking water is considered a luxury, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rustbodia's national animal is the cheetah, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Rustbodia is ranked 29,580^th in the world and 4^th in Seven To Many for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,361.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
