The Commonwealth of Rubian Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Matthaios Angelos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 16.167 billion Rubians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Rubian Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 6,382 trillion Angelos 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 394,783 Angelos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rubian Empirean Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Rubian Empire after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubian Empire's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Rubian Empire is ranked 292,421^st in the world and 7,154^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
