The Friendly Christian Republic of Russila is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ross Lee Hickman III with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 5.149 billion Russilans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossland. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Russilan economy, worth 648 trillion Russilan Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,896 Russilan Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, it's illegal to be caught on tape, half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', and the doctor has cold hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russila's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russila is ranked 7,329^th in the world and 364^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,903.88 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
