The Woodland Ruffian of Rushoar is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed population of 4.362 billion Rushoarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 64.7%.

The powerhouse Rushoarian economy, worth 351 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,618 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are in rehab for minor drug offenses, war vets look after war animals, domestic fishermen fly the Rushoarian flag out of fear of being blown up, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushoar's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Rushoar is ranked 31,972^nd in the world and 1^st in New Dinosaurtopia for Largest Black Market, with 54.3 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
