The Federation of New Rustonia is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.055 billion New Rustonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aran. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Rustonian economy, worth 206 trillion Shaws a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,316 Shaws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on New Rustonian selfishness, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Rustonia's national animal is the Bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Rustonia is ranked 7,300^th in the world and 22^nd in Aesica for Safest, scoring 123.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
