The Vraatzucht of Rups is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.288 billion Rupsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Rupsian economy, worth 163 trillion dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 10,716 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, torture is illegal, and elections have been outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rups's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Rups is ranked 15,553rd in the world and 50th in belgium for Most Stationary, with 1,763.40917002852 days.
