The Europeian Socialist State of Greater Rubisland is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.095 billion Rubislanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murmansk. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Rubislander economy, worth 400 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 97,767 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and the government hopes that Federation janitors overhear all of the good gossip. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Rubisland's national animal is the Arctic Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Greater Rubisland is ranked 30,575th in the world and 158th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
