The Federation of Ruwan Islands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Deppie Waikiki with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 6.036 billion Ruwan Islandsians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruwan City. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ruwan Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion Ruwan Shells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 187,925 Ruwan Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Deppie Waikiki is wearing this season, a politician who is photographed pulling a funny face while eating can say goodbye to their credibility, Deppie Waikiki's reputation is hard as nails, and flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruwan Islands's national animal is the Threadfin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Analogism.

Ruwan Islands is ranked 288,587^th in the world and 168^th in Lands End for Most Primitive, scoring -570.3 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
