The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by König Valek I Wilhelm von Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.701 billion Rubans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warschau. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 2,913 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 212,663 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Lion', birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ruby Ranch Republic's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

The Ruby Ranch Republic is ranked 279,069^th in the world and 230^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 18.83 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
