The Republic of Capitalist Ruskistania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Council of Ruskistania with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.362 billion Ruskistanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Saskia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The powerhouse a Ruskistani economy, worth 120 trillion Capybs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,494 Capybs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,844 per year while the poor average 11,722, a ratio of 34.6 to 1.

The state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association, the government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?', concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, and the Federal Council of Capitalist Ruskistania has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Capitalist Ruskistania's national animal is the Capybara, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Capitalist Ruskistania is ranked 192,942^nd in the world and 4,565^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 44.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
