The Theocracy of Ilhas Rubras is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 265 million Rubros are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Ilhas Rubrasian economy, worth 17.8 trillion Rúbios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 67,304 Rúbios, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 350,673 per year while the poor average 6,964, a ratio of 50.3 to 1.

Enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Ilhas Rubras, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Ilhas Rubras's national animal is the Dolphin.

Ilhas Rubras is ranked 34,782^nd in the world and 1^st in Oceano Rubra for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,451.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
