The Republic of Ruthuseis is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.281 billion Ruthuseisians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruthuseisian economy, worth 180 trillion Drachms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 141,225 Drachms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The love has gone in Ruthuseis, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, and Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ruthuseis's national animal is the Horned Lark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ruthuseis is ranked 226,720^th in the world and 115^th in United Democratic Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
