The Wysterian Arkleseizure of Ruperts is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Zaphod Beeblebrox with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 44.663 billion Rupertians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stavromula Beta. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Rupertsian economy, worth an astonishing 12,635 trillion Thumbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 282,913 Thumbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, Rupertsian diplomacy is by the book, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ruperts's national animal is the Babel Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ruperts is ranked 121,856th in the world and 66th in Yggdrasil for Most Stationary, with 289.3318981608 days.
