The Kaiserreich of TheRuhr is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiser Alexander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.983 billion Reichers 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tannenhof. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruhric economy, worth a remarkable 2,974 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 165,405 Reichsmarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

People who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Kaiser Alexander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheRuhr's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reich Edenism.

TheRuhr is ranked 52,369^th in the world and 18^th in Tarkin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,655.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
