The Empire of Rushav is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Dan Elkin with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.569 billion Rushavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvin. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Rushavian economy, worth 163 trillion Zyres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,890 Zyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", children are strong-armed by police into eating their greens, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Rushav" at foreigners, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushav's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Rushav is ranked 57,880^th in the world and 58^th in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 75.12 on the Human Development Index.
