The Empire of Ruby Islands is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.214 billion Ruby Islandsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Welfare and Defense also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The Ruby Islandsian economy, worth 506 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 41,502 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Ruby Islands's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ruby Islands is ranked 50,060^th in the world and 1^st in Ruby Empire for Largest Populations, with 12.2 billion capita.
