The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.966 billion Rubans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warschau. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 4,016 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 223,576 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Entomologists flock to Warschau for its remarkable gadfly population, landfills fill the land, speeches have been enlivened since Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau started spitting bars, and the government is full of esquivalience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruby Ranch Republic's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Ruby Ranch Republic is ranked 17,316^th in the world and 38^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,524.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
