The Democratic Republic of Rufelia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ruth Allister with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.102 billion Rufelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pskov City. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Rufelian economy, worth 225 trillion rufels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,028 rufels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Rufelia is often a lifetime appointment, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rufelia's national animal is the crane bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Rufelia is ranked 186,274th in the world and 1,332nd in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 68.67729632428 days.
