The Stray Dog of Ruber is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Alpha with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.253 billion Ruberians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The Ruberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion Snacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,126 Snacks, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated, Ruber has designated Garou City as its capital city, Alpha has just been declared ruler of Ruber in an international press conference, and Lycanism has been named as Ruber's national religion.

Ruber's national animal is the Red Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lycanism.
