The Kingdom of Ruairia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Payawk I with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.133 billion Ruairians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silwana. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ruairian economy, worth 212 trillion Punts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 99,835 Punts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and the official Ruairian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruairia's national animal is the Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is i forgor.

Ruairia is ranked 29,759^th in the world and 1^st in Brick Hill for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,680.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
