The Friendly Christian Republic of Russila is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ross Lee Hickman III with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.101 billion Russilans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossland. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Russilan economy, worth 646 trillion Russilan Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,783 Russilan Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, and children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Russila's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Russila is ranked 11,412^th in the world and 504^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 113 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
