The 🌲Rewilding🌲 of Ruinenlust is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Rex Silvae with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.168 billion Rūins hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dendropolis. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rūined economy, worth a remarkable 3,016 trillion Runes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 229,101 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out you can teach cats new tricks, a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, being dead no longer has any benefits, and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ruinenlust's national animal is the Flying Squirrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ruinenlust is ranked 615^th in the world and 9^th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 41,647.28 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
