The Wretched Red Regime of Rust and Ruination is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Alruinea of House Rust with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.528 billion hopeless thralls are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Despairuin. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The large but sluggish Rust and Ruinationian economy, worth 157 trillion rusty metal scraps a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 62,288 rusty metal scraps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The nation has nearly as many history museums as hopeless thralls, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Rust and Ruination's national animal is the Chaos Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bones to Ashes and Rust to Dust.
Rust and Ruination is ranked 5,936th in the world and 127th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.14 Effective Tax Rate.
