The Friendly Christian Republic of Russila is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ross Lee Hickman III with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 6.429 billion Russilans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossland. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Russilan economy, worth 852 trillion Russilan Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,525 Russilan Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes at least three to tango, Rossland University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russila's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russila is ranked 127,575^th in the world and 2,703^rd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 13.82 flags saluted per person per day.
