The Republic of Ruspa is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 12 million Ruspans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Ruspan economy, worth 219 billion Rusgoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 18,308 Rusgoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruspa's national animal is the Lion.

Ruspa is ranked 285,601^st in the world and 233^rd in The League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
