The Republic of Rubercaustia is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 67 million Rubercaustians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Rubercaustian economy, worth 5.19 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 77,517 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 436,838 per year while the poor average 6,776, a ratio of 64.5 to 1.

Leader is considering changing the Rubercaustian flag to one with more glitter, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, a petition to improve Rubercaustian literacy is mostly signed with cross-marks, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rubercaustia's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rubercaustia is ranked 7,909^th in the world and 4^th in Antisipation Refounded for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,209.16 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
