The Warlord Confederation of Ruskistania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Warlord Russki with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.606 billion Ruskistanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saskia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruskistani economy, worth 608 trillion Capybs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,616 Capybs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 882,665 per year while the poor average 17,281, a ratio of 51.1 to 1.

The government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, Ruskistani-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruskistania's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Capybaraism.

Ruskistania is ranked 85,336^th in the world and 1,715^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,503.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
