The Confederacy of Rusticia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 7 million Rusticians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 71.1%.

The developing Rustician economy, worth 180 billion rubles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 25,758 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The tightness of border controls in Rusticia leave a little to be desired, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rusticia's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rusticia is ranked 79,961^st in the world and 55^th in KAISERREICH for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,251.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
