The Free Land of Ruhestadia is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5 billion Ruhestadians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, with Spirituality and Social Policy not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruhestadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.

The very strong Ruhestadian economy, worth 427 trillion Franks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 85,478 Franks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 458,947 per year while the poor average 8,306, a ratio of 55.2 to 1.

Sick days are on the rise, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, criminals are thrown to the Snakes to repay their debt to society, and prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ruhestadia's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christian.

Ruhestadia is ranked 309,466^th in the world and 167^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.58 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
