The Königreich of The Ruby Ranch Republic is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Königin Erissa I von Helstein-Schau with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.073 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 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruby Ranch Republician economy, worth a remarkable 4,007 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 221,731 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, the government forces Rubans to eat their vegetables, the government records billions of hours of footage of trees, and the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals". 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 312,825^th in the world and 136^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -37 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
