The Presidential Republic of Rutba is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Abdul Latif Rashid with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.632 billion Rutbans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mosul. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rutban economy, worth a remarkable 3,272 trillion Standard Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 223,625 Standard Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Rutban selfishness, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime is totally unknown. Rutba's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Rutba is ranked 39,187^th in the world and 78^th in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
