The Republic of -Daiichi Ruby- is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 864 million -Daiichi Ruby-ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.8%.

The very strong -Daiichi Ruby-ian economy, worth 54.2 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,709 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 182,140 per year while the poor average 17,090, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

It's never "just a game" with -Daiichi Ruby-ian sports fans, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Daiichi Ruby-'s national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

-Daiichi Ruby- is ranked 142,626^th in the world and 707^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 56.17 on the Human Development Index.
