The Dominating Federal Republik of Rubicon Democratic States is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Kelivi Lasputer with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, flagrant waste-dumping, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.178 billion Rubiconians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rustavi. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubiconian economy, worth 171 trillion Rubixons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 145,221 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries, traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, Rubiconian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubicon Democratic States's national animal is the Mountain Blue Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mormonism.

Rubicon Democratic States is ranked 18,805^th in the world and 1^st in The Former Rland Union for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
