The Glorious Reich of TheRuhr is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Walter Traeger with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.071 billion Reichers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tannenhof. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruhric economy, worth a remarkable 2,355 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 167,402 Reichsmarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Emigrants arrive on foreign shores with nothing but pocket sand, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Ruhric emissions at all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheRuhr's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reich Edenism.

TheRuhr is ranked 18,519^th in the world and 3^rd in Tarkin for Highest Average Incomes, with 167,402.1 Standard Monetary Units.
