The Democratic Republic of Ruzonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by El Abuelo with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 17.167 billion Ruzonians 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Algiers. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruzonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,385 trillion Ruzonios a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 313,724 Ruzonios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, the country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime is totally unknown. Ruzonia's national animal is the Lobo Ruzonés, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ruzonia is ranked 1,619th in the world and 3rd in Union Mundial for Lowest Crime Rates, with 152.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
