The Empire of Russian Oil is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 28.99 billion Russian Oilians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 4.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Russian Oilian economy, worth an astonishing 10,639 trillion Roubles 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 367,014 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Harry Potter books are banned, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, and Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Russian Oil's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Russian Oil is ranked 76th in the world and 1st in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 207.13 flags saluted per person per day.
