The Free Land of Rubeck is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 405 million Rubeckians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of granada. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The powerhouse Rubeckian economy, worth 31.3 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 77,205 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 278,187 per year while the poor average 15,321, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, and surgeons walk out of theatres more often than prima donna actors. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Rubeck's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Rubeck is ranked 16,121^st in the world and 25^th in Flanelistan for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 72,109.57 Standard Monetary Units.
