The Republic of Ruvinheigen is a huge, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 635 million Ruvinheigenians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ruvinheigenian economy, worth 51.2 trillion Lumiones a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,667 Lumiones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, golden statues of Wolves line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruvinheigen's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ruvinheigen is ranked 21,787^th in the world and 4^th in Holo for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 5,978.82 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
