The Empire of Rushav is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dan Elkin with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.806 billion Rushavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvin. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rushavian economy, worth 206 trillion Zyres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,016 Zyres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vanity is the constant enemy of dignity, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, belief that Dan Elkin is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushav's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Rushav is ranked 25,447^th in the world and 49^th in Aesica for Smartest Citizens, with 61.14 quips per hour.
