The Kingdom of Ruhmheim is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by X-33 with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.131 billion Ruhmheimen enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ruhmheimen economy, worth a remarkable 2,339 trillion Mahrks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 89,534 Mahrks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many friends and relatives of X-33 have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ruhmheim's national animal is the Shoggoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ruhmheim is ranked 329,087^th in the world and 97^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -5.48 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
