The People's Republic of Rubumba is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Avatar with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.404 billion Rubumbans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertalia. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubumban economy, worth 830 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 243,993 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's considered bigoted to assume that a violent psychopath might be dangerous, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, diplomats in Rubumba are furious at constant police surveillance, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime is totally unknown. Rubumba's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rubumba is ranked 263,641^st in the world and 1,799^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -280.69 on the Hayek Index.
