The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 17.742 billion Rubians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubian Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 7,423 trillion Angelos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 418,418 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has always been at war with Moltovea, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, books are so highly regarded in Rubian Empire that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubian Empire's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Rubian Empire is ranked 336,554^th in the world and 4,836^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Pacifist, with 3.09 cheeks turned per day.
