The Dictatorship of Russo-bydliya is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its feral children, ubiquitous missile silos, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 184 million Russo-bydliyans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The powerhouse Russo-bydliyan economy, worth 16.0 trillion palets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 86,848 palets, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 348,957 per year while the poor average 14,474, a ratio of 24.1 to 1.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Russo-bydliya's national animal is the SLON, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Russo-bydliya is ranked 284,525^th in the world and 5,412^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 180.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
