The Divine Slavic Federation of True Rus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Volhv Dobroslav with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.112 billion True Rus are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perunoslavl. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped True Rus economy, worth 48.5 trillion rubles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,593 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, naval patrols only last nine months, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. True Rus's national animal is the brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Slavic Paganism.
True Rus is ranked 18,315th in the world and 9th in Gypsy Lands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,148.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
