The Federation of Ruunaanjarvi Lake is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The quiet, industrious population of 1.325 billion Ruunaanjarvi Lakeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ruunaanjarvi Lakean economy, worth 78.2 trillion gambles 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. 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 59,021 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, sex changes are routinely performed at Ruunaanjarvi Lake's hospitals, and studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruunaanjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ruunaanjarvi Lake is ranked 105,733rd in the world and 175th in Lakes in Finland for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 47.55 Effective Tax Rate.
