The Silverfish Army of Ruguo is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Silverfishy with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 12.904 billion Rugans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yinwei. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Rugan economy, worth a remarkable 2,370 trillion Suoyis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 183,696 Suoyis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruguo's national animal is the Silverfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Forgotten.

Ruguo is ranked 288,831^st in the world and 316^th in Wintreath for Most Primitive, scoring -571.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
