The State of Ruskin is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 21.621 billion Ruskinians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ruskinian economy, worth 397 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 18,384 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, genetic researchers have been expelled, Ruskin has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ruskin in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ruskin's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ruskin is ranked 46,221st in the world and 6th in City State of Monaco for Most Stationary, with 943.3100907256 days.
