The Snowy Imperial of Riussia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Makarov with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.412 billion Russians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscowia. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Riussian economy, worth 220 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,430 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, and political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Riussia's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Riussia is ranked 39,568^th in the world and 1,162^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
