The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 17.707 billion Rubians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubian Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 7,386 trillion Angelos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 417,145 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubian Empire's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Rubian Empire is ranked 4,189th in the world and 95th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,586.06 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
