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

The Republic of The Ruvia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Yvonne Vločka with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.446 billion Ruvians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astilea. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ruvian economy, worth 261 trillion Ruvian Nivas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,799 Ruvian Nivas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and some of the country's most famous photographers are animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruvia's national animal is the Golden Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anxiety.

The Ruvia is ranked 259,041^st in the world and 71^st in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Extreme, scoring 9.39 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
