The Confederation of Rusienne is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duke Volodymyr IX with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 29.254 billion Rus are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zudecheya. The average income tax rate is 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Rusi economy, worth a remarkable 3,755 trillion Rusi ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 128,383 Rusi ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rusienne's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Somethingism.

Rusienne is ranked 7,572^nd in the world and 1^st in Ruanzeres for Largest Populations, with 29.3 billion capita.
