The Republic of Rubikz is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 104 million Cubers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.9%.

The strong Rubikzian economy, worth 6.91 trillion Cubes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,425 Cubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubikz's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rubikz is ranked 80,387^th in the world and 2,247^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
