The Tsarist Kingdom of Russian Empire0 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Alexis II with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 21.376 billion Russians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Petersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Russian economy, worth a remarkable 3,476 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,652 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,103,596 per year while the poor average 8,793, a ratio of 125 to 1.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Tsar Alexis II is a silly poophead, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, celebrity wrestlers thumb their nose at due process, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Russian Empire0's national animal is the double-headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox.

Russian Empire0 is ranked 40,941^st in the world and 18^th in Sheriffmuir for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,601.22 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
