The People's Republic of Rubumba is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Avatar with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.053 billion Rubumbans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertalia. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rubumban economy, worth a remarkable 1,788 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 295,427 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Rubumba's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Rubumba is ranked 266,762^nd in the world and 41^st in The Socialist Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
