The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 12.244 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. 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 4,789 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 391,161 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has enacted freedom of information, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates. 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 256,578^th in the world and 6,773^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -25.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
