The The Socialist Rouge Nation of Ruegard is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.196 billion Ruegarders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ruegardian economy, worth 319 trillion Munts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,954 Munts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Waste is frequently shipped to other countries, the official Ruegardian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, Ruegard City is a police state during international summits, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruegard's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ruegard is ranked 23,104^th in the world and 56^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,080.62 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
